>> This week brought the news
>> <http://act.credomobile.com/campaign/save_pbs/i3n8sxgr28dexim?>  that once
>> again, President Bush has proposed deep budget cuts for the Corporation for
>> Public Broadcasting (CPB), which supports public stations across the country.
>> In previous years, Congress has heard overwhelmingly from their constituents
>> and restored this funding; can we count on you to chime in again this year
>> and save public broadcasting?
>> 
>> Take action and tell Congress -- reject Bush's cuts to public broadcasting.
>> <http://act.credomobile.com/campaign/save_pbs/i3n8sxgr28dexim?>
>> 
>> If this seems to you like dejá vu all over again, you're not alone. This is
>> the eighth straight year that Bush has tried to de-fund public broadcasting,
>> but this year the proposed cuts are the deepest ever. Even Patricia Harrison,
>> a former co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee who now serves as
>> the President of CPB, has called these cuts "draconian."
>> 
>> Please sign our petition to your senators and representative to save the PBS
>> budget. <http://act.credomobile.com/campaign/save_pbs/i3n8sxgr28dexim?>
>> 
>> More and more, the free press that is so essential to our democracy is
>> controlled by a shrinking number of mega-corporations. Never has it been more
>> essential to have a publicly funded, noncommercial media outlet that provides
>> thoughtful rather than partisan news and won't waste our time covering
>> Britney Spears and the baseball steroids scandal.
