Dear MoveOn member,

 This Wednesday, the FCC is coming to Monterey. Make sure you're there 
to tell them how you feel about the increasing consolidation of media 
ownership.

 This is one of only six official FCC hearings on Localism in 
Broadcasting. It's an extremely rare opportunity to tell the FCC about 
the state of your local media and how well TV and radio are serving 
your needs.

 When:
Wednesday, July 21, 6:00 PM

 Where:
Monterey Conference Center
1 Portola Plaza
Monterey, CA

 Free advance tickets are available. Our friends at Free Press can tell 
you more about how to prepare:

This hearing is especially important in light of the recent order for 
the FCC to rewrite its new media ownership rules, which would have 
allowed big media conglomerates to get even bigger. Be there in person 
to tell the FCC that localism and diversity cannot thrive under media 
consolidation.

 I hope you'll make your voice heard this Wednesday!

 Sincerely,

--Noah T. Winer
