Dear Minnesota Senators Franken and Klobuchar,

My name is K and I live in Minneapolis. I am 4 and a half.

I love PBS because it helps me learn. I also play games on pbskids.org to learn to read and count. It is my favorite. I love Elmo, Sesame Street, DinoTrain, and Peep and the Big Wide World; I saw a show about tamarins, my favorite animal, that was great. I learn about the world by watching PBS and listening to NPR. Those are the only tv and radio we watch and listen to in our home. Please give money to PBS and NPR. Here is $1 to help pay for it.

Dear Minnesota
My name is R and I am 6 and a half years old and in first grade.

NPR lets me listen to facts and news from all over the world. For example, I learned about the protests in Egypt and Wisconsin before a lot of people because I listen to MPR! My favorites are “Car Talk,” “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me,” “All Things Considered,” “Midmorning,” “Midday,” and “Science Friday.”

PBS lets learn and explore the world and have fun. I want television with no commercials and good shows like “DinoTrain,” cooking shows, animal shows (National Geographic), “Electric Company,” “Sid the Science Kid,” and all the other fun shows.

In our home, we only watch PBS and we only listen NPR. They are important to us. They help me learn about my country, my community, and my world. They help me be a better citizen.

Please support NPR and PBS! I love them!
The government only gives about $1 for each person for NPR and PBS. I have saved my money and am sending $2 to help pay for them. They are important to me.

From
R
