I usually don't spam stuff like this, petitions and the like, but this is an important one... PBS is the only station that doesn't cram kids' heads with predatory consumerism. I learned my ABCs from that channel, and I never bugged my mom to buy me anything from their sponsors (cause they don't have any). Do the right thing, sign the petition.
Thanks,

Everyone expected House Republicans to give up
efforts to kill NPR and PBS
after a massive public outcry stopped them last
year. But they've just voted
to eliminate funding for NPR and
PBSunbelievably, starting with programs
like "Sesame Street."
Public broadcasting would lose nearly a quarter
of its federal funding this
year. Even worse, all funding would be eliminated
in two years--threatening
one of the last remaining sources of watchdog
journalism.
Sign the petition telling Congress to save NPR
and PBS again this year:
Last year, millions of us took action to save NPR
and PBS, and Congress
listened. We can do it again if enough of us sign
the petition in time.
This would be the most severe cut in the history
of public broadcasting. The
Boston Globe reports the cuts "could force the
elimination of some popular
PBS and NPR programs." NPR's president expects
rural public radio stations
may be forced to shut down.
The House and Senate are deciding if public
broadcasting will survive, and
they need to hear from viewers like you. Sign the
petition at:
Thanks!
