not sure if this isn't one of those petition hoaxes, but it seems good
to err on the side of caution...
>> FYI....
>>
>> The current Administration is looking to get rid of
>> NPR, the National
>> Endowments and PBS. Is censorship next?
>>
>> 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_at_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 your
>> 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_at_blue.univnorthco.edu
>> This way we can keep track of the lists and organize
>> them.
