* Subject: Arts Funding Petition
* Content-Type: text

* Hi-Please read this VERY IMPORTANT petition! I hope you will then sign it
* (copy the following text into a new message and add your name to the
* bottom of the list) 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,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@blue.univnorthco.edu
*
* PBS, NPR (National Public Radio), 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 "unworthwhile". 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 in total.
*
* 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 making our voices heard.
*
* Please add your name to this list and forward it to friends if you believe
* in what we stand for. This list will be forwarded to the President of the
* United States, the Vice President of the United States, and Representative
* Newt Gingrich, who is the instigator of the action to cut funding to these
* worthwhile programs.
*
* If you happen to be the 150th, 200th, 250th etc. signer of this petition,
* please forward a copy to: wein2688@blue.univnorthco.edu. If that address
* is inoperative, please send it to: kubi7975@blue.univnorthco.edu.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.
