But they've just voted to eliminate funding for NPR and PBS -- unbelievably, starting with programs like "Sesame Street."<BR><BR>Public broadcasting would lose nearly a quarter of its federal funding this year. Even worse, all funding would be eliminated in two years--threatening one of the last remaining sources of watchdog journalism.<BR><BR>Sign the petition telling Congress to save NPR and PBS again this year:<BR><BR><A href="http://civic.moveon.org/publicbroadcasting/"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">http://civic.moveon.org/publicbroadcasting/</SPAN></A><BR><BR>Last year, millions of us took action to save NPR and PBS, and Congress listened. We can do it again if enough of us sign the petition in time.<BR><BR>This would be the most severe cut in the history of public broadcasting.

NPR's president expects rural public radio stations may be forced to shut down.<BR><BR>The House and Senate are deciding if public broadcasting will survive, and they need to hear from viewers like you.
