Thank you! > > >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.
