    Exclamation Worth taking 3 minutes to save..

    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,
    Ty

    *********************************************
    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!

    P.S. Read the Boston Globe story on the threat to
    NPR and PBS at:

    Can't they just send some money and fund the station ? I like PBS as well but the viewers could save it with donations possibly .

    I saw that you had to put your address and e-mail, so I checked snopes, and it's legit...so I did it.
