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 you happen to be the 150th, 200th, 250th, etc.,
signer of this petition, please forward a copy to:
[log in to unmask]
mailto:[log in to unmask]> 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.
>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. In your new outgoing message, add your name to the
bottom
of the
list, then send it on. Or, if the option is available, do a SEND
AGAIN.
