Repeal 1996 telecommunications act, reverse media consolidation, stand up2 trump

To: Sen. Cantwell, Sen. Murray, Rep. Strickland

From: A verified voter in Olympia, WA

September 20, 2025

Repeal the 1996 Telecommunications Act. It's why Trump's censorship works so easily - consolidated media is easy to control, and endless mergers mean there's always a stockholder reason to bow to Trump's complaints. That's what we're seeing now, and while investigating government censorship is critical, preventing consolidated media and monopolies from occurring and fixing them now that they've come back is far more useful. In 1983, congress was concerned because 50 media companies controlled 90% of the market - but we're at 5 now! (Stat from more perfect union) We desperately need a more independent, less-consolidated media ecosystem, it's the only way we'll be able to vote trump out.
