So one thing I love is public broadcasting. I grew up watching PBS (Sesame Street) and NPR (
Car Talk) and I listen to NPR almost every day, at least on the good days. Life for me is so much better because of public broadcasting and I've learned so much through everything I've watched and heard.
Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me keeps me current on current events, but also makes me laugh at the same time.
This American Life warms my heart and helps me understand complex ideas. And
Radiolab gives me a new perspective on the world and the people in it. And my sisters are addicted to
Antiques Roadshow. Public broadcasting is all over my life.
Right now Congress is moving to take funding away from public broadcasting. This makes me very sad. So I went here:

and I contacted my congressmen and senator and asked them to vote to keep funding for public broadcasting.
I'm not saying that you should all contact your local government officials. It's your choice what you want to support. Thankfully we live in a free country. But if you support public broadcasting, let your congressmen and senators know. Maybe it will make a difference.
