Last year the Bush admin cut NPR and PBS by $100,000,000.

CBP is the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Bush wants to cut that 13%. I think the educational value of public broadcasting is important for our democracy. We have to get our priorities in order in the USA. Sign the petition to stop this budget cut.

Samantha .. good morning.

Just so you know, the President of the United States sends Congress a detailed proposal for the next fiscal year. At that point, Congress develops its resolutions and those resolutions go the House and Senate floors where they can be amended. Any differences between the two versions are rectified by the conference committee and sent back for a vote;

I like NPR and listen to it when I get the opportunity; however, this year, while Bush may propose the cuts, it is up to the Democrat majority to change this proposal.
