Off topic: NPR & Public Broadcasting

[Wilson Gray]

On NPR's Morning Edition, Nina Tottenberg  announced
that if the Supreme Court supports Congress, it will,
in effect, be 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. This is for
anyone who thinks NPR/PBS is a worthwhile expenditure
of $1.12/year of their taxes. 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, and the NEA.
