Defund Corporation for Public Broadcasting by refusing any CPB appropriation
Mandate says every Republican President since Nixon failed to strip CPB funding and that the 47th President must finally get it done—telling Congress he will not sign spending bills containing a penny for CPB.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 8 (Media Agencies / CPB) — Defunding Through the Budgetary Process: cutting off CPB is logistically easy via budget; 47th President can tell Congress through proposed budget and personal contact that he will not sign an appropriations bill containing a penny for CPB; may need bully pulpit against lobbyists.
Undo plan
1) Restore multi-year CPB advance appropriations for local public stations, especially rural and Tribal service.
2) Separate any bias critiques from zeroing universal service and educational programming support.
3) Protect interconnection and emergency-alert roles tied to public broadcasting infrastructure.
4) If reforms sought, use transparency/local-governance conditions—not extinction.
5) Verify: station coverage maps and underwriting diversity reports after funding restored.
