Save NPR and PBS

Please do what you can do save NPR and PBS. If passed, these bills would be the most severe cuts in the history of public broadcasting. Which will probably spell and end to commercial free kids shows like “Sesame Street” and “Reading Rainbow”.

Move-on.org has a petition to save NPR and PBS..

According to Move-on.org the cuts would slash 25% of the federal funding year -$100 million- and end funding altogether within two years. The loss could kill beloved children’s shows like “Clifford the Big Red Dog,” “Arthur,” and “Postcards from Buster.” Rural stations and those serving low-income communities might not survive. Other stations would have to increase corporate sponsorships.

Even if you don’t listen or watch these programs, do it for the kids.
