On NPR's Morning Edition last week, Nina Tottenberg said that if the
Supreme Court supports Congress, it is the end of the National Public
Radio (NPR), NEA & the Public Broadcasting System (PBS).
The arts are facing major cutbacks in funding. Inspite of the efforts
of each station to reduce spending costs and streamline their
services, some government officials believe that the current funding
to these programs is too large a portion of funding for something
which is seen as not worthwhile.
The only way that our representatives can be aware of the 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 petition is being passed around
the Internet, and will be forwarded to the President and the Vice
President of the United States.
This is for anyone who thinks NPR/PBS is a worthwhile expenditure of
$1.12/year of their taxes.
Why should I sign this list?
Because you believe a dollar and twelve cents is pocket change that
can help save the public television and radio programs that the
government thinks you don't care about.
Do you know a friend or family member invloved in the arts? We're
talking about their immediate future here.
Signing this list will cost you no money! It simply tells our
government that you think the arts are worth saving.
Your email is kept completely confidential, and will not be used for
any other purposes! This is not junk mail or spam, it is simply a
petition.
If you sign, please forward on to others. If not, please don't kill
it. Send it to the Email address listed here:
********@blue.univnorthco.edu [Original email address deleted - editor]
HOW TO SIGN & FORWARD -IT'S EASY: SELECT (highlight) this entire
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.
