I doubt that joining a facebook group is going to actually do anything in 
the matter.  If you actually have specific reasons for not wanting the 
merger, I'm guessing that there's someone to write to at the FTC or DOJ or 
whatever other government agencies have to approve these mergers.

If they decide that the merger would harm competition, they can (must?) 
reject the merger.
