----------------------------Original message---------------------------- A question has kept creeping into my mind about all of the avid supporters of PBS/NPR, who are adding their voices to the recent debate over government funding. How many of you, who are against the government cuts, are making donations during PBS/NPR pledge drives? I would hate to think there are "pirate" viewers/listeners(you know who you are!) who are speaking out against cutting the government funding. If you are a pirate listener, you should be putting your money where your mouth is during those pledge drives. I can watch PBS and listen to NPR in good conscience since I help support my local affiliates. I appreciate the services they provide to me and my community. If you aren't making a donation to support PBS/NPR and you are preaching against the govt. cuts and how PBS/NPR are too valuable to this nation to lose this money, then shame on you! If you really want to cast a meaningful vote in this debate, then ante up during the next pledge drive!
