Everyone! 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), National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and 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 doesn't matter if many people receive the same list as the names are being managed. This is for anyone who thinks NPR, PBS and the NEA is a worthwhile expenditure of $1.12/year of their taxes. If you happen to be the 150th, 200th, 250th, etc., signer of this petition, please forward a copy to: mailto:wein2688@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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 (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. 1) Dan Kreisberg, Avery CA 95224 2) Heidi Lawson, Arnold, CA 95223 3) Yoni Fishman, Arnold, CA 95223 4) Ronit Rieser, Sacramento, CA 95822 5) Zehava Fishman, Sacramento, CA 95822 6) Craig Rieser, Sacramento, CA 95822 7) Gavin Rieser, Sacramento, CA 95822 8) Tom Patoff, Avery, CA 95224 9) Royce Bridges, Avery, Ca 95224 10) Bill Senger, Avery, CA 95224 11) Robin Gavoor, Arnold, CA 95223 12) Cynthia Edwards, Arnold, CA 95223 13) Janet Ostroff Avery, CA95223 14) Larry Ostroff Avery, CA 95223 15) Gail Bunge, Avery, CA 95224 16) Ted Bunge, Avery, CA 95224 17) Doris Flores, Visalia, Ca 93292 18) Juhree Fort, Visalia, CA 93292 19) Sara Hews, Sonoma CA 95476 20) Sylvia A.
