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), 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 of funding 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 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 and the Vice President of the United States. This petition is
being passed around the Internet. Please add your name to it so that funding
can be maintained for NPR, PBS, & the NEA.
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. If you sign, please forward on to others. If not,
please don’t kill it - send it to then E-mail address listed here:

**** If you happen to be the 150th, 200th, 250th, etc., signer of this
petition, please forward a copy to:
