Good luck. Repubs have been trying for decades to defund NPR. This was the latest try:

NPR violates the First Amendment.

NPR is government journalism.

Blatantly un-Constitutional. De-fund it.

Nope, it's only a matter of political will.

If they get the majority in the house {where all money bills begin} simply do not fund npr, the senate can scream, and add amendments, but if the house has the balls, they can defeat it in conference.

No money is funded for npr, there is nothing the senate or the one can do about it.

The Republicans wimped out the last time.
Why expect anything new after November ?
