"Urgent action needed to save public broadcasting"
I just sent this out to my email list, but I thought I'd share it here as well.
June 14th, 2005
Public broadcasting is under very serious threat -- and this time, it's no email hoax. If you care about public broadcasting, please take a few minutes to learn about the threat and take some action.
To summarize: a house subcommittee has voted to eliminate funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting within two years. This funding is vitally important to public radio and television, especially for stations in smaller markets with less listener and underwriter revenue.
You can take action. Contact your congresspeople. Funding for public broadcasting is not a partisan issue -- it's a public interest issue. Tell them how much you value the information and entertainment that public TV and radio give you.
