8-Year-Old Big Bird Fan To Mitt Romney: 'You Find Something Else To Cut Off!'


8-Year-Old Big Bird Fan To Mitt Romney: 'You Find Something Else To Cut Off!'

Eight-year-old Alabama resident Cecelia Crawford wasn't happy during the debate on Wednesday night when Mitt Romney said he would stop government funding for PBS.

On Thursday morning, she was still angry, so she wrote Romney a letter, sent along to The Huffington Post by her mother. Crawford wrote that she is a fan of "Sesame Street" and that it was her "favorite show on earth" when she was younger.

"When I grow up I'm going to get married and I want my kids to watch it so do not cut it off," Crawford wrote. "You find something else to cut off!"

Crawford's mother mailed the letter on Thursday to Romney's campaign headquarters.
