Children on Pilgrimage to Sesame Street since 1969 are giving up.

NEW YORK CITY, NY -  Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?


Apparently the answer is "NO" No one seems to know how to get there.  You are either born or hatched there, have lived there since it was built, or have been magically transported there.  There seems to be a way to leave, but unless you know the secret passage, you can't get back.  Since Sesame Street began in 1969, children and adults alike have been on what is now a life time pilgrimage to the famous street.  Asking of all who will listen, "can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?"


The group of 52 now full grown adults and their children were last seen in Washington, DC, singing and asking politicians on Capitol Hill "Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?" Which, to their utter dismay were answered by some: "Sesame Street? Does anyone watch that anymore? I don't think so. Plus, after next year I can tell exactly how to get there...re-runs."


"I can't believe it, after all this time, after all these years, these letters, these numbers, Sesame Street is going away forever?  I never even got there!  So much for sunny days." Cried Hooper, so named as he was born on the day Mr. Hooper died on the Sesame Street. 


As the small group began to disband, a frazzled few men and women in suits approached them with smiles of their worn faces.  "You can't give up now, my friends, Sesame Street needs you more than ever before."
"But what can we do, we've been looking for Sesame street for decades?"
"Sesame Street is a place in your heart, you can go there whenever you want to.  But if you want to save it for your children, and their children, you must keep up your quest.  Tell everyone you meet to tell everyone they know to keep Sesame Street and all of it's friends on PBS.  If you give up, then it will become a street of the past."


And so boys and girls, we leave you with this message.  We can tell you how to get to Sesame Street... call your local congressmen and women, ask them how they got there.
