The Senate is likely to vote on a recision pulling back already appropriated money for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting which provides funding to Public Broadcasting stations. If you like PBS, NPR, or just like your local public TV and/or radio stations I urge you to contact your senators and representatives

Full disclosure: My family would be directly impacted by these cuts due to my spouses job. But regardless, I think the world and country would be a much poorer place without Public Broadcasting, or with greatly diminished Public Broadcasting. And the savings to the government would be a drop in the ocean.
