Good Morning, America
President Bush just proposed drastic cuts to NPR and PBS. MoveOn has helped stop similar cuts in the past, but enough is enough: With the new Congress, we can make sure this never happens again.
We need Congress to save NPR and PBS once and for all.
Can you help out by signing this petition to Congress? It's really easy-just click the link below:

Thanks!
No doubt this will be a repost for a lot of you. Here's my "personal message" to Congress:
It cannot be possible that the money "saved" by dismantling our national public media systems outweighs the terrible cost we pay. Not only do they provide free public education for pre-kindergarten-age children through post-graduate adults, but they also serve as the backbone for a number of our public emergency systems. Crippling such a system can only be motivated by greed in its extremity, or worse, by malice toward an American public that is well-educated, well-informed, and capable of critical thinking.
