Help Fund PBS & NEA

Democrats can make PBS and the National Endowment for the Arts a Big Winner – for a long time to come!

Help save Big Bird from Big Oil and the Koch brothers who hates PBS and loves the Big Liar. Let us Democrats take PBS under our wing and make it our station the DEMOCRATIC BROADCAST SYSTEM.

How can anyone win a debate when they promise to give the military a trillion more dollars then they ask for? How can an old peacenik like me compete with a bunch of dudes feathering their nests in our armed forces? How much of this windfall go to helping soldiers who suffer from PTSD?

“Obamacare is on my list….I’m sorry, Jim. I am going to stop the subsidy to PBS….I like PBS, I like Big Bird. I actually like you too. But I’m not going to keep on spending on things and borrow money from China to pay for it.”
Romney made the same promise last August in an interview in Fortune, lumping PBS in with the National Endowment of the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and Amtrak.
“Some of these things, like those endowment efforts and PBS I very much appreciate and like what they do in many cases, but I just think they have to stand on their own rather than receiving money borrowed from other countries, as our government does on their behalf.”
In a statement to The Washington Post follwing the Fortune article, PBS CEO Paula Kerger called it “extremely disappointing.”
She pointed to a bi-partisan survey that found that 69% oppose cutting PBS.
“We understand that these are challenging times,” Kerger said. “However, public broadcasting has already sustained a 13% cut in its federal funds over the past two years. More severe cuts would be crippling.”
