Campaign Action The non-profit, non-partisan group FreePress sponsors public campaigns to fight concentrated big media ownership. General Electric is the largest, most influential corporation in terms of revenue and scope of its media operations and ownership. Free Press asks citizens to take action against a complete media takeover by giants GE, Time Warner, Vivendi Universal, Viacom and Disney by opposing the FCC’s lax enforcement of media ownership rules.

Campaign Action General Electric has been implicated in CorpWatch’s War Profiteers Campaign, alongside companies such as Bechtel, Lockheed Martin, Halliburton, Northrop Grumman and Boeing. The war profiteers reap the benefits of conflict by producing weapons and/or lining up for lucrative government contracts for various services, using their connections to secure preference. GE was awarded $2.8 billion worth of military contracts in 2003. The War Profiteers Campaign exists to educate citizens on corporate ties to military and defense money, and encourages people to contact CEOs with a message that companies must end their roles as beneficiaries from weapons production and proliferation.
