For REAL: Save Public Broadcasting (i.e., NPR, PBS and like, Sesame Street)

Hey there fellow taxpayers! Are you a well-versed hawky Neo-Con? Contact a show on NPR or PBS-- they'd love to showcase your viewpoint. Are you a well-versed dovey Liberal? Contact a show on NPR or PBS-- they'd love to have you as a counterpoint to aforementioned Neo-Con. Are you a well-versed snarky Libertarian, arguing for the abolishing of NPR and PBS and all facets of government? Contact a show on NPR or PBS-- ironically, they'd love to have you! You can counter everyone. For guess what, folks-- that's what it's for! You know-- analysis, questioning and discussion, those pesky little things which are quickly disappearing from American culture for the very reason that they value the principle of questioning. And who would want that? (um, hint hint: these guys, among other obvious despots)
Much like my childhood hero Jesus, with public broadcasting there can be love for everyone. You can't find that, nor great children's programming, on Fox nor any network news, all of which have to cater to advertisers for big sugary cereals and etcetera. We should be able to have a break from that somewhere.
Folks, it's just one channel, one outlet. And it needs to be saved. Last week the House, in a voice vote, voted to slash funding to Public Broadcasting (NPR, PBS) by 50%. So support public broadcasting, and act NOW to save it. Contact your senator and Congressmen, and save this one small non-corporate outlet for our discussions and our children's viewing. Go HERE.
