Guest Column: PBS, NPR funding under attack
Please be very concerned about all of the recent attempts and various
pieces of legislation (H.R. 68, H.R. 69, H.R. 235, H.R. 408 and S.

U.S. senators and congressmen to oppose these pieces of legislation
and any further efforts to cut or eliminate funding for this essential
community resource.
