Please don't! This is an old chain letter, long outdated, but still   
consuming bandwidth. I've forwarded it myself, a few months back. :-( 
 
See the US Dept of Energy url below:

PBS and NPR - Petition  
 
Below is a prime example of a chain letter that keeps circulating the   
Internet. If you receive this chain letter, please delete. 
 
David Brumley, the Network Administer at University of Northern   
Colorado informed CIAC of the following: "In 1995, a couple of students   
wrote a letter and sent it out to support funding for PBS and NPR. This   
letter was not intended to be a hoax, but instead was only a misguided   
attempt by some students of ours to do some good. After reading   
through the CIAC section on HOAX's, I decided to go ahead and verify   
that in fact this one should not be circulated. The students (one of   
whom has left the university since the posting) have been reprimanded." 
 
        Subject: PBS and NPR - petition 
 
Please read this VERY IMPORTANT petition! I hope you will then sign it 
and  pass it along to everyone you know. We've got to be active in 
saving these  important institutions! Please sign! Thanks!  
 
 This is for anyone who thinks NPR/PBS is a worthwhile expenditure of 
$1.12/year  of their taxes (as opposed to, say, Newt Gingrich's salary?), 
a petition follows.  If you sign, please forward on to others (not back to 
me). 
 
If not, please don't kill it -- send it to the email address listed  here: 
                    wein2688@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
