Senators Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell:
I am writing to implore you to vote against clawing back funds previously granted to PBS and KET, and to include them in the 2026 budget. 
I remind you that the KET broadcast infrastructure is essential to providing alerts for many agencies, including weather and the FBI. I understand that the president has his own agenda against media that paints him in a negative light, which I perceive to be the primary motivation for this action. 
I refer you to this page for additional information, including a list of agencies that use the KET backbone.

Again, I implore you to vote against the claw back, and to continue funding PBS and KET. This is in the best interests of your Kentucky constituencies. 
Sincerely,
