[William Rivelli <rivelli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All you IR folks in the US, please read and forward:

<< On NPR's Morning Edition, Nina Totenberg reported that if the Supreme
Court supports Congress desire to cut the budget of the National Endowment
of the Arts, it is in effect the end of the 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.
Each year, 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 our making our voices
heard.
Please add your name to this list and forward it to friends who believe 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 sign, 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:

wein2688@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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.
