Dear Randall, I just wanted to share a quick excerpt from the front page of yesterdays New York Times article detailing the latest on Als fight to protect consumers from the proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger. Thanks for all of your support and well be in touch soon. Matt Matt Burgess Campaign Manager Al Franken for Senate ...Mr. Franken again finds himself playing a trustbusting role in Washington — against the same adversary. He has emerged as the leading congressional opponent of Comcast’s $45 billion bid to take over Time Warner Cable, a merger that would unite the nation’s two biggest cable companies. In a three-hour Senate Judiciary hearing on Wednesday, Mr. Franken adopted a prosecutorial stance as he interrogated executives from both companies, asking pointed questions, often repeatedly, like a dog with a particularly tasty bone. He was the only lawmaker to explicitly say he wanted the merger blocked. We’ve got the biggest cable provider and biggest Internet provider, in Comcast, buying the second-biggest cable provider and third-largest Internet provider, and I’m very worried that will create a company that’s too big, Mr. Franken said in the interview. They’re going to use their position to leverage higher cable prices and to dictate a lot of things that will make for fewer choices, and their service will be even worse.
