House subcommittee endorses end to PBS/NPR funding
baltimoresun.com - Lawmakers seek to starve Big Bird
From the opinion piece:
The subcommittee's chairman, Republican Rep. Ralph Regula of Ohio, said the cuts have nothing to do with widely publicized conservative dissatisfaction with perceived liberal bias in public radio or TV programs. Rather, he said, cuts are needed to balance the federal budget.
Nevertheless, I'll believe Congress really cares about balancing the budget when I see it roll back - at least a teeny bit - President Bush's wartime tax cuts.
------
Speak out against the cuts by at least signing this petition and even calling your senators and representatives.
