Sweet Victory On NPR Funding
A definite step in the right direction!!
Representative Doug Lamborn of Colorado has attempted to ax National Public Radio out of the federal budget for years. The third-term Republican first proposed such a measure in 2007 as a conservative freshman in the Pelosi chamber. It went nowhere. Since then, he has battled on, working the cloakroom and speaking out on the House floor.
To be sure, it faces an uphill battle in the Senate, but at least the Republicans in the House did what we sent them there to do. Now we have to light a fire under the timid Senate Republicans.This afternoon, Lamborn saw his cause take a significant step forward: The House voted to dry up a gusher of federal dollars that has long been directed toward NPR programming.
