And a CNN article on the matter.
So either moveon.org really does make a difference, or they just think they do. Either way, next time, I may sign the online petition. But I certainly won't leave it at that.

Congress Votes to Restore $100 Million to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
Statement by Eli Pariser, Executive Director of MoveOn.org
We are delighted that we were able to help restore some of the cuts made to NPR and PBS. MoveOn.org members sent in more than 1 million comments and made more than 40,000 calls to tell Congress to save Big Bird and Mr. Rogers. We are glad to have helped protect such an important service.
And a CNN article on the matter.
