The current Administration is looking to get rid of NPR, the National
Endowments and PBS.

Please read and forward to your e-mail rolodex. Even if you disagree
with the politics - a voice for both sides must exist and the arts survive.

On NPR's Morning Edition, Nina Totenberg said 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 to reduce costs and streamline services, government officials believe that the funding currently going to these programs is too large for something which is seen as not worthwhile. The only way that our representatives can be aware of the base of support for PBS and funding for such programs is by making our voices heard.

Please add your name to this petition and forward it to friends who
believe in what this stands for. This is for anyone who thinks NPR/PBS
is a worthwhile expenditure of $1.12/year of their taxes. This petition is
being passed around the Internet and will be forwarded to the President
and the Vice President of the United States. Please add your name to it so
funding can be maintained for NPR, PBS, & the NEA.

If you prefer not to sign, please don't kill it. Send it to the Email
address listed here: wein2688@blue.univnorthco.edu

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 you're name to the
bottom of the list, then send it on. (Or do a SEND AGAIN.)

If you happen to be the 150th, 200th, 250th, etc., signer of this
petition, please forward a copy to: wein2688@blue.univnorthco.edu This way we
can keep track of the lists and organize them.
