Free Press Calls on Members to Ask Congress to Block Comcast/NBCU

Public interest group Free Press is calling on its members to contact Members of Congress and ask that they block the proposed merger of Comcast and NBC Universal.

"Don't be silent on this issue," says the group, which is one of the deal's strongest critics. "With a few clicks, you can push back against Comcast." The e-mail comes the day before Comcast Chairman Brian Roberts is testifying before the Senate Commerce Committee about the proposed $30 billion joint venture.
