[MR] Off Topic Pardon the use of bandwidth FW: Petition to support NPR

[TychoandBert at aol.com]

Pardon the use of the lists bandwidth, however I thought this important.
<< >NPR needs your voice

> >

>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: wein2688 at 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!

> >

>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.
