Don't fund NPR
If NPR does not have better sense than this, quoting Sarah Palin's Facebook wall about Geraldine Ferraro as part of Ferraro's life history, maybe they should not be funded!

1. The next time I donate, it will be in your name.
One sentence from one article that you don't like, so FUCK 'EM!

It's amazing how people's minds work sometimes.

3. With all due respect, this is stupid. Ferraro was on FOX a lot during 2008 elections
so why not quote Palin? NPR is still what keeps most of us sane.

5. NPR is not a parrot for Conservative/Republican/FOX
That is why they want to defund it.

they do not want any voice but theirs heard.

NPR won't go away in big urban areas, but in more rural distracts where there is no group to fund them, they will disappear and right wing radio will have be all there is. This is to make sure tha no voice is heard but an extreme right wing voice.

Wake up and smell the shit.

6. NPR gives me the best info I can get, I can not see my not supporting them
for this.

I enjoy all points of view so I can make my own decision on a situation...NPR is one outlet that I can get a broad and in depth discussion of events...precisley what i want.

In fact, I celebrate them for not once, mentioning Charlie Sheen...that alone should be good reason to increase donations!
