Three additional Members of Congress joined General Motors Corporation, Club for Growth, Harpo Productions, the Rural Coalition, and celebrity talent Andres Cantor, Bill Mack, Wynton Marsalis, Cal Ripken Jr. and Barry Switzer as the latest supporters of the pending merger of XM Satellite Radio and SIRIUS Satellite Radio . The latest bi-partisan Congressional supporters include the Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Rep. Joe Baca (D-CA), Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA) and Rep. Connie Mack (R-FL). This new support adds to the diverse list of supporters for the pending merger.
In recent filings, Rep. Baca and Rep. Mack detailed how the merger will benefit the economy, enhance innovation, and strengthen competition:
“I find that the merger will not only maintain an advanced technological innovation, it will bolster the industry thereby strengthening our economy. More families and individuals will have an opportunity to access satellite radio.”
