I hope this is not against the rules, but since PBS does such wonderful
educational shows including ones about sea life I think we should support
this cause.
Thank you all

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. 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 appropriations 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 your name to it so that funding can be maintained for the NEA,
NPR & PBS.

thinks NPR/PBS is a worthwhile expenditure of $1.12/year of their taxes, a
petition follows.
