National Endowment for the Arts, PBS, NPR, NEA, NPR & PBS petition.
Please keep this petition rolling. Do not reply to me. Please
sign at the bottom and forward to others to sign. If you prefer
not to sign please send to the e-mail address indicated or return
to me. Thanks. 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.
NOTE: It is preferable that you SELECT the entirety of this
letter and then COPY it into a new outgoing message rather than
simply forwarding it.
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.
This is for anyone who thinks NPR/PBS is a worthwhile expenditure
of $1.12/year of their taxes, a petition follows. If you sign,
please forward on to others (not back to me). If not, please
don't kill it-send it to the email address listed here:
wein2688@blue.univn PBS, NPR (National Public Radio), 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
$0.64 a year.
A January 1995 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll indicated that
76% of Americans wish to keep funding for PBS, this percentage of
people polled is surpassed only by national defense and law
enforcement as the programs that are the most valuable for
federal funding.
Each year, 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 if
you believe in what we stand for. This list will be forwarded to
the President of the United States, the Vice President of the
United States, and Representative Newt Gingrich, who is the
instigator of the action to cut funding to these worthwhile
programs.
If you happen to be the 150th, 200th, 250th, etc. signer of this
petition, please forward a copy to:
wein2688@blue.univnorthco.edu.
If that address is inoperative, please send it to:
kubi7975@blue.univnorthco.edu.
This way we can keep track of the lists and organize them.
Forward this to everyone you know, and help us to keep these
programs alive.
Thank you.
