On NPR's Morning Edition, Nina Totenberg reported that
if the
Supreme Court supports Congress to cut the budget of
the National
Endowment of the Arts, it is in effect the end of NEA.
This
situation creates great concerns about Congressional
funding for
creative arts in America, since NEA provides major
support for
NPR (National Public Radio), PBS (Public Broadcasting
System),
and numerous other creative and performing arts.
If NEA is lost or weakened, our lives will be
similarly
diminished.
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
$.64 a year. A January 1995 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll
indicated
that 76% of Americans wish to keep funding for PBS,
third only to
national defense and law enforcement as the most
valuable
programs for federal funding.
Please add your name to this list and forward it to
friends who
you believe are in favor of what this stands for. The
full list
will be forwarded to the President of the United
States, the Vice
President, and the Speaker of the House, whose office
has in the
past been the instigator of the action to cut funding
to these
worthwhile programs.
This petition is being passed around the Internet.
Please add
your name to it so that funding can be maintained for
the NEA,
NPR, and PBS.
THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO MAKE INTERNET TECHNOLOGY WORK AS
A VOICE IN
OUR DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM. IT'S EASIER THAN EVER TO MAKE
OUR VOICES
HEARD.
Please keep the petition rolling. Do not reply to me.
Sign your
name and locale to the list and forward it to others
to sign. If
you prefer not to, please send the list to the email
address given
below. This is being forwarded to numerous 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 and PBS
deserve $1.12/year of their taxes. If you sign, please
forward the
list to others. If not, please don't kill it.
If your number ends in 50 or 00 PLEASE forward a copy
to

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.
