Hi, John, it's John. |
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Republicans just voted to gut $1 BILLION from public broadcasting.
They wiped out federal funding for PBS, NPR, and local stations across the country that rural communities rely on for urgent news alerts. |
👉 Republicans do not give a damn about how this will leave small towns in the dark. No local news, no weather alerts, no emergency lifeline in a crisis. |
They said to hell with educational programming, too. Mr. Rogers, a Pittsburgh icon, taught us kindness and empathy. My wife, Gisele, learned English watching PBS, where Big Bird and Elmo have educated generations of American kids.
As a father, this is personal.
Trump gave Republicans an order, and they marched in lockstep. They want silence where there used to be truth, and they don’t care who gets hurt. |
It’s not budget trimming. It’s *vengeance* against journalists and anyone who won’t kiss Trump’s ring. |
We need to raise $20,000 by MIDNIGHT to show Trump’s band of bootlickers we’re furious – and they’ll pay for every shameless concession to Trump at the ballot box. |
So please, chip in now if you’re fed up with Trump’s reckless war on truth, and ready to hit back HARD. |
Thanks yinz, |
John ❤️ |
