Oklahoma GOP Rep. Tom Cole is the biggest problem. His constituents need to contact him stat.

I’ve contacted my House Congress critter and two Senators asking them to support this.

This will be a VERY tough fight. Very. Let's see what Trump can do.

In 2005, the GOP-led House Appropriations Committee recommended cutting 25 percent from CPB’s $400 million outlay, leading to a weeklong public outcry. All but six of the House’s 202 Democrats voted down the proposal, with 87 of 140 Republicans joining.

Let's see what they will offer to give up to keep it. Then we can do the same thing next budget.
