The rules will further consolidate local media markets -- taking away independent voices in cities already woefully short on local news and investigative journalism.
We need 100,000 people to get Congress to reverse the FCC's rules right now.

Manny Gonzales the kid everyone forgot in the CA prison system
Seventeen year old Manuel Gonzales was convicted of premeditated murder with a handgun April 11, 2005 in Van Nuys CA. Manuel was sentenced to serve 27years in a CA prison without any possibility of early parole. The 23 year old victim in this case was shot at three times and nicked on top of his shoulder requiring a two hour hospital visit (no stitches ) and was released with pain medication. Within the first the first few days after this shooting, the victim identified to the police another mans face other than Manuel's in a picture lineup. Forty days later this victim changed his mind and Manuel Gonzales was arrested instead.The prosecutor at Manuel's trial was informed by the presiding judge before the trial began, that she and her witnesses who would be testifying in court were not to ever mention anything relating to gangs or attempting to connect this case to a gang related incident. Unfortunately for Manuel Gonzales the prosecutor never followed the judges orders and Manuel was convicted by a compromised jury in little over one hour of deliberations.
