'Big Bird' backlash: The 8-year-old girl Mitt Romney pissed off

Pike Road - An angry 8-year-old Alabama resident sent a letter to Mitt Romney for his comments about cuts to PBS and in particular, Big Bird, telling the candidate: "You find something else to cut off!"

As reported Wednesday, Romney told PBS host Jim Lehrer, who moderated the presidential debate, that he would stop the subsidy to Lehrer's network to trim the deficit. "I’m sorry, Jim, I’m gonna stop the subsidy to PBS ... I like PBS, I love Big Bird -- I actually like you, too -- but I am not going to keep spending money on things [we have] to borrow money from China to pay for," Romney said. Well, it seems that apology just didn't do for little Cecelia. On Thursday morning, she was still angry, so she wrote Romney a letter. Cecelia's mother mailed the letter on Thursday to Romney's campaign headquarters and a copy to The Huffington Post. Cecelia wrote that she is a fan of "Sesame Street" and that it was her "favorite show on earth" when she was younger and ... "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!" While many supported Cecelia, others like Huffington Post user mtmartin1106 had another idea:

Dear Cecilia-

When you grow up, and get married, hopefully you will have the opportunity to get a job and PAY FOR WHATEVER TELEVISION PROGRAMMING YOU WANT to have on PBS. Don't steal it from your neighbor, assuming they want the same thing you do. Crawford's full letter to Romney:
