This is what your colleagues are doing in the House today. Its very important work. In fact, I think it may be God's work. ;-)

House Republicans have declared an "emergency" today. Is it about unemployment? The situation in Libya? The disaster in Japan? Nope, it's about defunding NPR.
They're taking up an emergency bill that would ban any federal money from going to NPR or its affiliates.

A right-wing blogger's hidden-camera video has NPR on the defensive, even though it was so misleadingly doctored that even Glenn Beck's website questioned its credibility.1 But Republicans want to use this moment to take away NPR's funding for good.

We can't let that happen. Can you call your representative, Jim McDermott, and tell him and his fellow Democrats that we're counting on them to stand strong against this unprecedented attack on NPR?"
