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. What’s 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 do hate Sesame Street. One of our friend’s late father was a neurologist and blamed Sesame Street for the rise in ADD.He always told us that the first 4 years of life that children should not be exposed it because of it’s fast pace.It trains the brain to only pay attention for 5 seconds then to something else.He always said prior to SS you rarely saw ADD.
Lets try that gain....Nancy no one listens to your trash yap so STFU....
