As the fact that "Citizen Koch" was pulled from a national television broadcast suggests, the power of money is proven as a real threat. But the effect is arguably an example of censorship by the conservative moneyed class, against everything implied by the substantive American. I am a viewer of public television stations, and I would bet my lucky socks the Koch brothers, despite big contributions, are not. I call upon you to join the call for a national broadcast of "Citizen Koch" on Independent Lens.

WUCF-24 Orlando, I'm shocked to learn that "Citizen Koch" was pulled from a National Public Broadcast so as to not upset a major donor, David Koch. Public TV stations should not censor an important documentary because it might upset billionaires like the Koch brothers, who are using their billions to buy anything that challenges their politics. Public TV is there for all of us, and I, and others like me, want to see this important documentary. As part of a major public university, I can't fathom that you would support such censorship. Please join the call for a national broadcast of "Citizen Koch" on Independent Lens.

Public Television is widely held in high esteem primarily due to its non-partisan approach to programming. It would be very disheartening to learn that a program is being blocked simply because certain information may be viewed negatively by the subject of the documentary. Since this individual has chosen to be an extremely overt influence on public policy, it is completely appropriate that the public be aware of other aspects of this individual, and it is the duty of PBS to uphold its history of journalistic integrity, placing public service over individual favoritism.

There is no reason for me to remain a member of KOAC if it refuses to air "Citizen Koch" because as a donor he is given veto power over showing an investigative report that shows his egregious control over our government. Show this documentary or lose thousands of members like me who have looked to KOAC for honest reporting of issues that affect our lives and what is left of our democracy.

Even more than the importance of what this film documents is that PBS (a public broadcasting service) cannot give in to pressures to censor a film like this. Do we live in America? It is time to stand up to forces that try to curtail the truth, albeit not what the corporations might not like to be aired. The soul of public broadcasting is now on the line. AIR IT!

Help me keep my trust in PBS: If you bow to the wishes of the Koch brothers, that will definitely tarnish my trust in the completeness and accuracy of whatever is reported and discussed in NewsHour, FRONTLINE, and the like. Air the documentary, and should the Koch Brothers withdraw their support of PBS shows, that may cause more people to contribute to the support of PBS!
