There's a poll over at parade.com asking readers whether US tax dollars should support PBS.  As of this posting, over thirty thousand votes are cast and I'm glad to say that 61% of you believe, as the Parade contributors so elegantly put it, that Big Bird should NOT be given "the ax".  Let your voice be heard.  Vote at Parade.com and send a letter to your representatives in Congress expressing your support of public broadcasting.  Click to find your representatives in the HOUSE and SENATE.
