John,

Late last week, the MRC’s Founder and President Brent Bozell sent an open letter to President Trump, calling out Pelosi and the politicians behind this reckless Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) pocket-lining through the recent ‘stimulus bill.’

Wrote Mr. Bozell to President Trump: 

“According to CPB’s own website, it already has a bloated annual budget of $445 million. As you have appropriately called for yet again this year, federal funding for CPB should be completely eliminated. As with any other private entity in a free society, the CPB should have to compete in the free market to convince consumers that its programming is worth their financial support.”   
 
And Brent added a powerful punctuation, noting, “Anything else is legalized plunder.”

Let’s join forces to stop the plunder...

TAKE ACTION

Here’s what a couple MRC supporters offered in reply to the open letter:

• "Brent Bozell’s open letter to our president was BEAUTIFUL. It embodies the true American spirit and I simply want to say thank you from millions of American patriots. Mr. Bozell, you are what makes America great, and you are a great American. I salute you sir.”
• "Thank you, Mr. Bozell, for fighting for the American taxpayer & exposing the shameless inclusion of $75 million in grant money to PBS & NPR in the latest stimulus package. We need people like you more than ever to continue to expose how the left continually takes advantage of crisis to pass their wish list of garbage… Keep up the great work!”

This is all in response to non-essential PBS/NPR stations taking $75 million from the emergency $2 trillion "stimulus" bill to deal with the economic ramifications of the coronavirus pandemic.

This is what America did NOT get because of PBS/NPR:

• 300,000 COVID-19 test kits
• 4,166 ventilators
• 21,428 hospital beds
• 192,307,692 masks
• 357,483,318 pairs of medical gloves
• 12,500,000 bottles of hand sanitizers
• 80 million 200mg tablets of hydroxychloroquine

Speaker Pelosi's original "stimulus" scheme would have granted $300 million to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, so it was reduced by 75 percent.

TELL PELOSI AND MCCONNELL TO FEDERALLY DEFUND PBS / NPR

Let’s spread the word, and sound the alarm. Let’s stand for freedom.

DEFUND PBS / NPR
