Karl Rove out of PBS!Tell Congress to defend public broadcasting from partisan pressure. No New Nuclear Weapons!Tell your senators we don't need new 'usable' nuclear weapons. Tell Congress to Keep Partisan Pressure off PBS A recent New York Times expose brought to light efforts by Kenneth Tomlinson, the new head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and a good friend of Karl Rove, to tilt PBS programming to the far right. Tomlinson has even told CPB and PBS officials that "they should make sure their programming better reflected the Republican mandate." Click here to take action! Despite increased attention to the conservative attack on public broadcasting, the CPB has now cut Bill Moyers' popular NOW program from 60 to 30 minutes and hired a panel of conservative pundits from the Wall Street Journal. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting -- the governing body that sets policy for public television and radio -- was created to shield public broadcasting from political pressure. Click here to defend PBS from Karl Rove's ideological attack and tell your representatives in Congress to defend public broadcasting from partisan pressure. Please forward this newsletter to your friends and help spread the word about this important campaign! Eliminate Funding for New Nuclear Weapons The Bush Administration has requested more than $8 million in this year's budget to develop new and more usable nuclear weapons - including the so-called 'bunker buster.' Building new nuclear weapons sends exactly the wrong signal to the rest of the world -- hypocrisy is not the basis for a sound foreign policy. What's more, the scientists say this new bomb probably won't even work as intended. The House has blocked the bunker buster funding, but we need the Senate to follow suit. Click here to ask your senators to eliminate funding for these new nuclear weapons. Please forward this newsletter to your friends and help spread the word about this important campaign! Thank you for working to build a better world.
