Hello everyone,
On NPR's Morning Edition last week, Nina Totenberg
said that if the Supreme Court supports Congress, it
is in effect the end of the National Public Radio
(NPR), NEA & the Public Broadcasting System (PBS).
PBS, NPR and the arts are facing major cutbacks in
funding. In spite of the efforts of each station to
reduce spending costs and streamline their services,
some government officials believe that the funding
currently going to these programs is too large a
portion of funding for something which is seen as not
worthwhile.
Currently, taxes from the general public for PBS equal
$1.12 per person per year, and the National Endowment
for the Arts equals $. 64 a year.
A January 1995 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll indicated
that 76% of Americans wish to keep funding for PBS,
third only to national defense and law enforcement as
the most valuable programs for federal funding. The
Senate and House appropriations committees each have
13 subcommittees with jurisdiction over many programs
and agencies. Each subcommittee passes its own
appropriation bill. The goal each year is to have each
bill signed by the beginning of the fiscal year, which
is October 1. The only way that our representatives
can be aware of the base of support for PBS and
funding for these types of programs is by making our
voices heard.
Please add your name to this list and forward it to
friends who believe in what this stands for. This list
will be forwarded to the President of the United
States and the Vice President of the United States.
This petition is being passed around the Internet.
Please add your name to it so that funding can be
maintained for the NEA, NPR & PBS.
HOW TO SIGN & FORWARD: IT'S EASY: Please keep this
petition rolling. Do not reply to me. Please sign and
forward to others to sign. If you prefer not to sign,
please send to the e-mail address indicated below.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT DUPLICATES. This is being forwarded
to several people at once to add their names to the
petition. It won't matter if many people receive the
same list as the names are being managed. This is for
anyone who thinks NPR/PBS is a worthwhile expenditure
of $1.12/year of their taxes, a petition follows. If
you sign, please forward on to others. If not, please
don't kill it-send it to the email address listed here:
wein2688@blue.univnorthco.eduorkubi7975@blue.univnorthco.edu
NOTE: If you happen to be the 150th, 200th, 250th,
etc., signer of this petition, please forward a copy to:
This way we can keep track of the lists and organize them.
Forward this to everyone you know, and help us to keep
these programs alive.
Thank you!
NOTE: It is preferable that you SELECT (highlight) the
entirety of this letter and then COPY it into a new
outgoing message, rather than simply
forwarding it. In your new outgoing message, add your
name to the bottom of the list, then send it on. Or if
option is available, do a SEND AGAIN.
