    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,
