petition against the vile Rupert Murdoch

I am a member of feisty Avaaz.org, and just received an urgent notice from them. I urge you to log on and sign the petition mentioned below. Murdoch has already done untold harm. Let's try to stop him doing much more. Here's what I received:

In 48 hours, nearly half the British mass media could be bought by one of the world's worst media moguls.

Rupert Murdoch has exploited his vast media empire to push warin Iraq, elect George W Bush, spread resentment of muslims and immigrants, and block global action on climate change. He undermines democratic government across the world by threatening elected leaders with vicious and often false media coverage unless they do his bidding.

Britain plays a key role in Europe and the world. If Murdoch has a lock on British media, he will use it to undermine UK, EU and UN support for human rights and democracy. The UK is up in arms over the Murdoch bid, and even the government, elected with Murdoch's help, is split down the middle as it makes a decision this week. Global solidarity bolstered Egypt's pro-democracy protesters -- it can help Britain's. Let's build an urgent global outcry to stop Rupert Murdoch.Sign the petition to Prime Minister Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Clegg!
