Two weeks ago we sent you the message below to announce our 100 cosponsors in 100 days initiative to stop media consolidation.
We’re only two weeks into this summer campaign, and already more than 40 members of Congress have signed on to this important legislation. We’re almost halfway there, but we need your help.
Please click on this link to sign the petition to help us get over 50 cosponsors before next week, when Congress will leave D.C. for the summer.
Thanks for your help,
Dear Friend

When members of Congress from Utah return home this summer, they need to hear why stopping further media consolidation must be a top priority.
By acting now, you can ensure that there are thousands of petitions ready to be delivered when Rep. Rob Bishop sets foot back in your district for the summer congressional recess.
Help Stop Big Media: Sign the Petition Now
In May, the Senate voted to stop Big Media by passing a “resolution of disapproval,” which rejected the Federal Communications Commission’s latest effort to consolidate local media.
We won in the Senate. We can win again in the House.
To do this, we need to get 100 co-sponsors in the next 100 days to support the House version of the bill (H.J. Res. 79). This summer, we’ll be delivering hundreds of thousands of petitions at in-district meetings with key members of Congress. Make sure your voice is heard.
Help Us Get 100 Co-Sponsors in 100 Days.
Sign the Petition Today
Tens of thousands of people already have signed the petition, and 30 members of Congress have agreed to co-sponsor the bill. But we need to do more to swing a majority in the House.
And we don’t have much time. We plan to deliver the signatures in August, when elected representatives leave D.C. for the summer.
Congress may be about to go on break, but we aren’t going to rest.
Thanks for your help,
Josh Stearns
