Funding for your local programming is still at risk.
Congress is back in session and will soon resume discussion on appropriation bills. Your voice is still needed to remind Congress that public broadcasting is a good investment.

170,000,000 people — more than half of all Americans — rely on public radio or television every month for trusted news and thought-provoking conversations, and cultural programming that brings the arts to everyone.

Your opinion matters. Don’t wait. E-mail or call your Congressional representative now to express your opinion about the proposed elimination of federal funding for public broadcasting.

• Send a message: Visit 170MillionAmericans.org. You will be able to send a pre-written (and editable) letter to Congress.
• Make a phone call: 202-224-3121 is the U.S. House of Representatives switchboard operator, and you can look up the contact information for your senator by clicking here. When you write or call, tell your representative how important Iowa Public Radio and other public broadcasters are in your life.
