<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Dear
MoveOn member,</span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>In
the next few days, the House of Representatives will vote on whether to slash
funding for NPR and PBS. And tomorrow, before Congress votes, we'll present
stacks and stacks of printed petitions and public comments to save public
broadcasting. We'll be joined by members of Congress and the public TV and
radio staff fighting for survival.</span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Over
817,000 people have signed the petition so far—simply incredible. But we
want to present 1 million signatures to the press tomorrow, and we can do it
with your help. In all our years of online organizing, we've never heard of one
million Americans signing a petition in a week, but we're within striking
distance now.</span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Help
us reach 1 million signers by the end of the day. Sign the petition at:</span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'><a
href="http://www.moveon.org/publicbroadcasting/?id=5684-797749-LQlcSidEvnXL72o7pIE2tA&t=3">http://www.moveon.org/publicbroadcasting/?id=5684-797749-LQlcSidEvnXL72o7pIE2tA&t=3</a></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Then
please send this message on to your friends and colleagues—it'll take all
of us pushing together to get to the 1 million mark.</span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Already,
the public outcry has delayed the effort to eliminate funding entirely, but the
proposed cuts would still cripple NPR and PBS. The cuts threaten programs like
"All Things Considered," "NOW," "</span></font><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Sesame
Street</span></font><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>," "Fresh Air," "The Charlie Rose
Show," and "Clifford the Big Red Dog." In an era of corporate
media, public broadcasting is one of the last places you can find insightful
journalism and educational content. Quality costs money, and corporate owners
are too willing to sacrifice good programming to save a buck.</span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>If
the House passes these massive cuts, we'll fight to restore the funding when
the Senate takes up public broadcasting. But even if we stop the House cuts,
we'll need to make sure Senate Republicans don't try the same thing.</span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Together,
we can stop the House from slashing NPR and PBS in the federal budget. Can you
help us hit 1 million signers today?</span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
stakes are high: some of the best programs on the air are at risk. After you
sign, please pass this on to any friends, family, co-workers and neighbors who
watch or listen to public TV and radio.</span></font></p>
