>> Subject: RE: NPR and National Endowement For The Arts
>> 
>> On NPR's Morning Edition last week, Nina Tottenberg said that if the
>> Supreme Court supports Congress, it is in effect the end of the National
>> Public Radio (NPR), National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) & the Public
>> Broadcasting System (PBS). PBS, NPR 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 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 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 is for anyone who thinks these programs are a worthwhile
>> expenditure of $1.12/year of their taxes. The list will be forwarded to
>> the President and the Vice President of the United States.
>> 
>> HOW TO SIGN & FORWARD: IT'S EASY:
>> 
>> This petition is being passed around the Internet. Please keep it
>> rolling. Do not reply to me. Sign and forward to others to sign. DON'T
>> WORRY ABOUT DUPLICATES. This is being forwarded to many people at once.
>> It won't matter if many people receive the same list as the names are
>> being managed. If you sign, please forward on to others.
