In 1969, Frederick Rogers (“Mr. Rogers”) went before the U.S. senate to defend a grant to keep PBS--and his show--on television. His show had previously had a budget of $6,000. After making his argument and singing a song to U.S. senator in charge of the meeting, he walked away with 20 million dollars for PBS and his show.

Here’s a sample of his argument.

2. Analyze Rhetorical Appeals

We made a hundred programs for EEN, the Eastern Educational Network, and then when the money ran out, people in Boston and Pittsburgh and Chicago all came to the fore and said we've got to have more of this neighborhood expression of care. And this is what -- This is what I give. I give an expression of care every day to each child, to help him realize that he is unique. I end the program by saying, "You've made this day a special day, by just your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you, and I like you, just the way you are." And I feel that if we in public television can only make it clear that feelings are mentionable and manageable, we will have done a great service for mental health.

3. Appeals: LOGOS, ETHOS, PATHOS
