Koch money should not influence what programming airs on public television. I want to see the film, "Citizen Koch" aired on PBS, and I ask you to join me in this.
Why is this important?
"Citizen Koch" is a documentary that was pulled from national public television broadcast because it offended David Koch, a major donor to the PBS network. While Koch may be able to hand over millions ($23 million, to be exact, according to Jane Meyer of the New Yorker) for the sake of influence, public television stations should answer to the majority of their donors and viewers, average citizens like you and me. I urge you to join the cause and call for a national television broadcast of "Citizen Koch" on Independent Lens, PBS's Emmy-winning independent documentary showcase.
