Save Big Bird, Cookie Monster & PBS

From Common Cause: Last week, House appropriators cut $100 million from next year's budget for public broadcasting. House members also voted to cut all federal funds to public broadcasting by 2008. As the Washington Post noted, the cuts were a "malicious wounding, if not outright attempted murder, of public broadcasting in America." Today, the House will vote on its final budget proposal for public broadcasting. Please flood our elected officials w/emails and calls so we can save Big Bird. If PBS funding is hacked, rural and poor kids who cannot afford cable will be hardest hit. Find your elected officials here and please contact them.
