Why Save PBS?
Republicans have never been fond of public broadcasting. Republicans have always thought that public broadcasting across the board is liberal, and not particularly supportive of Republican and conservative points of view. Democrats tend not to think that, unless they're from very conservative districts.
I grew up watching Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers and NOVA, hell I even watched Austin City Limits which was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President George W. Bush in 2003. Here's a chart on why we should save PBS and tell me how you feel.

How could something so good be marked for death? I'd even challenge to say that PBS has had more of a positive effect on educating our kids than the actual public school system itself. I guarantee that if a national poll was conducted, more people could honestly say that they remember the teachings of the colorful puppets of sesame street better than what their elementary school teacher told them so many years ago. As much as that says about how bad our educational standards are as a nation, it should also hopefully state how much of a positive impact one simple tv station has had on the public for the last several decades. Save PBS. To let it die would be an unspeakable tragedy in so many ways that even The Count couldn't......COUNT all the ways.
Not to mention that I learned about the beauty of a gay, committed, relationship from watching Bert and Ernie.
