MoveOn.org Civic Action: Save NPR and PBS (again)
by Decius at 2:10 am EDT, Oct 4, 2006 |
House Republicans just voted to slash funding for NPR and PBS this year--and eliminate funding altogether in two years. We stopped them last year. We can stop them again. Sign our petition to Congress opposing these massive cuts to public broadcasting.
NPR is the only news on the radio that isn't preoccupied with explaining to me why the other side of the political spectrum sucks. Some googling on the issue seems to say that the Repbulicans are backing off of this after getting trounced last year. Support for CPB runs against the grain of my libertarian instincts, but you show me commerical radio programming that isn't stupid and I'll stop supporting federal funding for CPB. |

It's not like CPB is a non-profit or anything.... There's something to be said about the manditory or compulsory support of an entity such as CPB from public tax dollars, versus the membership drives we are already subjected to through the on-air not-for-profit prophets. |

Their website says they are a non-profit. |
