Update#2 - Public Broadcasting Petition

Once again, let me just say:"Holy crap!"

Since my most recent update, moveon bumped their signatures goal up from 500,000 to one million. Looks like, as of 11:30 today, they've exceeded that goal.

According to the announcement I heard on our local NPR station today, it sounds like the original funding cuts were amended to a more realistic funding cut, one that is not outrageous and crippling, but more in line with current budgetary reality. (While the tax cuts for the rich are still in effect, that is.) Haven't found any hard news sources on this one yet, but I'm keeping my eye out, and will update when info becomes available.
