Join our brigade of Mad Scientists in Richmond, Virginia on February 26-27 to stop the FCC from eliminating nearly all of the remaining protections against media monopolies.
FCC Chairman Michael Powell has said that he only wants to hear from media scientists about the issues of media concentration, because the comment he is getting from the public is too "emotional" and "political." We're telling Michael Powell we don't want to be part of his experiment in Media Monopoly!
Without media ownership rules, one transnational company could legally own ALMOST ALL the media in your town. That same company night also own big weapons suppliers or nuclear power plants!
Do you trust that company to tell you everything you need to know about war, government spending, or environmental issues?
If they get their way, you won't have any other choices!
FEBRUARY 27, 9:00 A.M.
Rally and FCC Hearing in Richmond, VA
Mad Scientists donning Einstein wigs and labcoats will descend on the FCC Hearing to present our evidence that the titrations of media concentration are bad for the nation. They will use their high -tech laboratory grade "Mediational Suckolizer" and electrodes and graphs and test tubes and flashing spark gaps to discover how much empirical evidence there really is for allowing the corporations to grow their fiendish media empires.
FEBRUARY 26, 7:00 P.M.
Teach-in with Speakers and Films Details TBA.
