~ Thousands of shows and radio programs over the years
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, or CPB, helps fund public television and radio. Sesame Street, Nova, and PBS News Hour are just some of the shows that recieve funding, and radio stations such as National Public Radio(NPR) and many smaller television and radio stations (like my local classical station!) depend on these funds to operate.
Congress is currently considering not just reducing but COMPLETELY CUTTING all federal funds. Without this funding many stations and programs would have to end - especially those in smaller communities.
News, educational shows, documentaries and the arts - all of these will suffer, and all of these enrich us as individuals and as a nation!
Please, contact your Congressman and let him or her know that the CPB is an investment in our country!

Oh, that's horrible! I used to love PBS when I lived in the States. It's so rare to find quality TV programming.
