"Citizen Koch“ was pulled from a national public television broadcast because of fear of upsetting David Koch, who has been a major donor to public television. But public television stations should answer to viewers like me, not to billionaires like the Koch brothers -- and I want to see this important documentary. Will you join the call for a national broadcast of “Citizen Koch“ on Independent Lens?

He doesn't care about the people of this country at all.

Pulling a documentary to satisfy one donor goes against the very nature of what public broadcasting is all about. PBS should be a holdout against corporate self-serving interests, not the latest victim of them.

"Citizen Koch" was pulled from a national public television broadcast for fear of losing future funding from David Koch. Public Television should answer to viewers and not to moneyed interests who manipulate commentary and news daily to promote their own interests. The abuse of promoting half-truths is creating the division seen across our country today. Help bring truth back to the public and public broadcasting by signing this call to action.

Oak Hills Park is a city park in Norwalk, CT occupied primarily by an 18-hole golf course. Approximately 7-10 acres of natural woodlands are located within the park's boundaries behind the restaurant parking lot. The Oak Hills woodlands comprise hundreds of mature trees and are situated on a steep slope including a rock ledge and bordered by a wetland, forming habitat for many species of wildlife. In 1999 and again in 2012-2013, the woodlands were threatened by Oak Hills Park Authority's plan to construct a golf driving range on this site. At its August 15, 2013 meeting, Oak Hills Park Authority voted unanimously to *NOT* pursue the driving range proposal in this location, and to work instead with a developer proposing a driving range on existing golf course acreage near the first tee. While we applaud Oak Hills Park Authority's decision not to destroy the woodlands at this time, we don't want to have to fight this fight again. Therefore we call upon Norwalk's Mayor, Common Council, Oak Hills Park Authority, and other governing bodies to designate the woodlands in Oak Hills Park as permanent open space, to preserved, conserved, and protected from development in perpetuity. The League of Women Voters of Norwalk voted on September 16 to advocate protecting the woodlands as permanent open space. This position is in accord with the LWVUSA position on land use and open space.

Stop Koch brothers' involvement with PBS. This will be bad for the poor and the middle class. Make PBS run by the people and not the special interests.

As a supporter of Public Broadcasting and KIXE, I believe we need to show the Independent Lens episode "Citizen Koch" to tell the truth about the Koch brothers, even though David Koch is a major donor to public television.

Observe and comply with the 1st amendment.

We need to see this program!

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

Pulling the plug on "Citizen Koch" sets a bad precedent for *public* television, an important place for citizen engagement and discourse, and sets a bad precedent for our already fragile and beleaguered American democracy. It is incumbent upon WGBH to stand up to the Koch brothers, while standing up for the citizens who deserve, and have paid for, all aspects of a given story, and as this story has particular import, WGBH can have little to fear in doing the right thing by its public and citizen sponsorship, while enabling for the larger conversation and engagement that must be had surrounding this important documentary.

I want to be able to see the documentary "Citizen Koch" because as a democracy we are supposed to be informed about political issues that are shaping our lives.
