End public funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting

What the document says

“the next conservative President must finally get this done and do it despite opposition from congressional members of his own party if necessary. To stop public funding is good policy and good politics.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 246

The chapter argues that the government is heavily in debt, that it should not compel what it calls the conservative half of the country to pay for the suppression of its own views, and quotes Jefferson on compelled contributions. It says stopping public funding must be done even over opposition from the President's own party in Congress.

What the document actually says

“the next conservative President must finally get this done and do it despite opposition from congressional members of his own party if necessary. To stop public funding is good policy and good politics.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 246
That sentence, in plain words

The next president must get this done. He should do it even if his own party fights him.

What this is about

Public radio and television get money from the government. The book says that should stop. It says the president should push it through. It says he should do so even if his own party says no.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
