Subject: National Public Radio From: Mascio, Jan Date: September 14, 2000 Please read the following, and if you feel it is a good use of your tax dollars, please add your name and send it on to people of like mind. Subject: public radio petition Please take a moment and read this. If you feel comfortable, please sign the petition, per instructions and send it on in your network of Public Radio supporters. --------------------------------------------------- On NPR's Morning Edition Nina Tottenberg said that if the Supreme Court supports Congress, it is in effect the end of the National Public Radio (NPR), NEA & the Public BroadcastingSystem 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 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. The Senate and House propriations 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 who believe in what this stands for. This list will be forwarded to the President of the United States and the Vice President of the United States. This petition is being passed around the Internet. Please ADD YOURNAME to it so that funding can be maintained for the NEA, NPR & PBS. HOW TO SIGN & FORWARD: IT'S EASY: Please keep this petition rolling. Do not reply to me. Please sign and forward to others to sign. If you prefer not to sign, please send to the e-mail address indicated below. DON'T WORRY ABOUT DUPLICATES. 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. NOTE: If you happen to be the 150th, 200th, 250th, etc. -- REAL SOON NOW the 1000th -- signer of this petition, please forward a copy to: [email protected] This way we can keep track of the lists and organize them. Forward this to everyone you know, who might help us to keep these programs alive. Thank you! 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 if option is available, do a SEND AGAIN. 850) Charlotte M. Lovekin, Vashon, WA 98070 851) Janet K.
