Since the Federal Government will pay 100% of the SC Medicaid expansion for two years with tax dollars we have paid as citizens, and 90% thereafter, it is fiscally irresponsible for SC not to expand Medicaid. The decision not to expand Medicaid is fiscally irresponsible, and leaves thousands of South Carolinians without healthcare coverage.

Earlier this summer, a New Yorker article revealed that public television pulled the documentary Citizen Koch from a planned national broadcast – out of fear of upsetting major PBS donor and right-wing billionaire David Koch. Citizen Koch is a powerful documentary by Academy Award-nominated filmmakers that tells the story of the outsized role of money in politics. After we learned what happened, more than 350,000 people around the country signed a petition urging public television to end the self-censorship and air Citizen Koch. Recently we delivered those petitions to public television’s flagship station, WNET in New York – and now we’re stepping up the fight by urging local stations to do the same.

"Citizen Koch" was pulled from national public television broadcast due to fear of upsetting David Koch who has been a major donor to public television. But WGBH needs to listen to viewers - like us - who also support public broadcasting. Please join the call for a national broadcast of "Citizen Koch" on Independent Lens!

Koch money shouldn't influence public television programming -- we want to see the film "Citizen Koch" aired on PBS!

Freedom of speech.

Public TV must remain public.

Documentaries concerning the huge amounts of money spent by political factions in order to influence voters or make it difficult for people to vote must be available to the public. Fear of upsetting David Koch and other billionaires should not be allowed to influence PUBLIC television.

let american citizens see what the koch brothers are really about.

I consider the Koch Brothers subversive and anti-democratic. Their wealth is used to control and manipulate the public to believe that government is the enemy. Theirs is a message to attempt to instill fear and divide the U.S. public on policies that benefit the all.

"Citizen Koch" was pulled from a national public television broadcast out of fear of upsetting David Koch, who has been a major donor to public television. Public television stations are there to serve the public not billionaires and not only do we deserve to see this important documentary, we need to see it in order to stay informed. Will you join the call for a national broadcast of "Citizen Koch" on Independent Lens?

I know that Kock's funding is important to PBS it but what use is it if it forces you to compromise the mission of objective journalism? The public needs to see ALL information even if it is not favourable to Koch! The Koch money is corrupting this country's politics - don't let it corrupt our source for open and fair journalism!!

Billionaires Charles and David Koch offer nothing for free. If David donates money to OPB it is because in doing so, he has a definite Extreme Conservative Right Wing Agenda. OPB already is showing signs of right leaning programming. This is intolerable.
