Subject: Tell Congress: Don't cave to Sarah Palin. Stand up for NPR

Dear Friend, National Public Radio recently fired Juan Williams after he appeared on Bill O'Reilly's show on FOX News and made some controversial remarks. Now, Sarah Palin and other professional right-wing demagogues are exploiting this issue as an excuse to push Congress to defund NPR, which is something conservatives have wanted for decades. Whatever you think about the Juan Williams controversy, we cannot allow the right wing to dictate public policy by throwing a fit. And we cannot allow Congress to lie down when confronted with hypocritical, fake outrage from the Right. Join me in telling Congress: Don't cave to Sarah Palin. Stand up for NPR! It's really easy to do so at the link below. http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/stand_up_for_npr/?r_by=11984-2796343-Pg_VoJx&rc=paste1
