One of the important recent developments in politics in the increased
use of web-based political lobbying by organizations such as
MoveOn, who alert members through e-mails about
certain issues and then have them go to web sites to send messages
to Congress on that issue. One such issue for which they lobbied
was the vote in the House of Representatives in July 2003 to block
implementation of the FCC’s attempt to allow a single corporation
to own television stations that reach up to 45 percent of American
viewers. |
