Take Action: Tell Congress: Reject Bush’s Cuts to Public Broadcasting Once again, President Bush is trying to cripple the public broadcasting system by slashing its funding. I just signed a petition to Congress to reject these proposed cuts, and I hope you will too. Mr. Rogers would be proud of you. In 1969, Richard Nixon attempted to cut PBS funding by 50%. A senate hearing chaired by “hatchetman” Senator John Pastori couldn’t push it through as long as there was…

Banking on your short attention span, big media is giving it another shot. Stop Big Media is trying to get the word out. Tell Congress not to dismantle media ownership rules! Kevin Martin, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, has been keeping a secret from the American people. He wants to push through plans to remove decades-old media ownership protections. And he’s trying to do it without public scrutiny. Senators Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) and Trent Lott (R-Miss.) have introduced groundbreaking…
