Only about $1.60 of tax dollars per US citizen per year was spent on the public broadcasting budget. If you donate $20 a year, you're covering what your tax dollars would have done. If you do a monthly donation of $7, your donation can equal the tax dollars of 54 people spent on PBS per year.

If I donate, will they stop sucking up to and sanewashing trump??? PBS/NPR are probably more responsible than fox for him winning in '16. Fox watchers were already not voting for Hillary, but PBS/NPR legitimized the con man and undercut HRC at every turn. I need something for them to get my $ again.

I just straight up gave mine $120, no tote bag or nothing. We who have some have to pitch in.

I give $13.00 a month and I pay zero for any other subscription. I also get free internet from my landlord.

I’m a subscriber and it is a great deal. Their programming is excellent.

Highly recommend a Passport subscription. Had one for several years and watch programs at my leisure, including ones I would totally miss otherwise

Done. Also consider an NPR subscription also. They need help. They are truth tellers. 8/month. Worth every penny if you can do it.

Once PBS isn’t getting federal money, they can take off the gloves.
