Pelosi Statement on Passage of Legislation Prohibiting Federal Funding of NPR March 17, 2011
Washington, D.C. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after House Republicans voted to prohibit funding of National Public Radio. Republicans also unanimously opposed a Democratic measure to ensure that public broadcast networks continue receiving funds to disseminate AMBER Alerts regarding abducted children:
Defunding public radio may fulfill a Republican campaign promise, but it does not create jobs and it does nothing to reduce the deficit. Whats more, it could endanger our children as every House Republican voted to halt funding for radio networks that play a crucial role in alerting the public to missing and abducted children.
Republicans must join Democrats to create jobs, strengthen the middle class, and responsibly reduce the deficit.
i think she has gone around the bend. They should really get her to a doctor.
Every radio, TV, and cable network alerts to missing children today, not just NPR.

So now it's for the MISSING children!

It’s not like there weren’t other radio stations Nanzi.
what she is sayin is if liberals don’t hear it, it
doesn’t exist?
Please explain: since when does not throwing money down a rathole not help?
NPR broadcasting amber alerts is like the look out man monitoring the police radio channel.
public broadcast networks continue receiving funds to disseminate AMBER Alerts regarding abducted children
Not necessary anymore. It is ALWAYS on Fox News and most likely CNN. The problem with NPR besides the liberalism is it has outlasted its need.
She needs a mental evaluation and drug testing should be mandatory in the house and government in general!
ALERT: Fluffy puppies and kittens will die if NPR is defunded!
It's National Grouch Day in San Francisco. (No, I'm not kidding, that was the caption for this photo.)
Nancy Pelosi and her husband are very very very RICH RICH RICH people. They have a bundle! But like a lot of Democrats, they will NEVER put their money where their very big mouths are. SPEND YOUR OWN MONEY TO SUPPORT NPR, Nancy ! You are a HYPOCRITE, so shut up. You are a PHONY! You are a PHONY!
Somebody who abducts a child would probably be a NPR listener anyway.
I have a fluffy puppy & a kitten. When can we have their funerals.
now republicans hate Big Bird AND missing children.
These nitwits fantasize that somewhere in America there are lots of small towns that have no other access to information than NPR or PBS. Somehow the 50,000 watt blowtorch AM stations, the satellite TV stations, Al Gore’s internet and even the newspapers are unavailable in these back water hamlets but somehow “ AllThingsConsidered” comes through. Where are these little towns?
I'm not crazy. I'M NOT CRAZY! DO YOU HEAR!
Take her away.
Defunding public radio may fulfill a Republican campaign promise,”
Yep. Amazing isn’t it?
“...but it does not create jobs and it does nothing to reduce the deficit.”
Yeah, cuz she knows all about that!
“Whats more, it could endanger our children as every House Republican voted to halt funding for radio networks that play a crucial role in alerting the public to missing and abducted children.”
Whenever any politician brings the emotion into the argument, then they have admitted defeat.
Republicans must join Democrats to create jobs,”
Only a Libtard would think the government can create jobs.
“strengthen the middle class,”
Stay the heck out of my life and I will strengthen myself. As it is, every time I make progress, Libtards want to steal from me to knock me back down.
“and responsibly reduce the deficit.
Again, something of which she has no experience or expertise to utilize in offering advice.
