Californian says cutting NPR does “nothing to reduce the deficit,” “could endanger our children” via elimination of radio alert system.
“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.”
