>> Petition for NPR
>>
>> For anyone who thinks NPR/PBS is a worthwhile expenditure of $1.12/year of
>>their taxes, petition follows. If you sign, please forward onto others. If
>>not, please don't kill it -- send it to the email address listed here:
>>wein2688 at 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, the 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. In the instance of the Corporation of Public broadcasting,the bill
>>determines the funding for the next three years. When this issue comes up
>>in 1996, the funding will be determined for fiscal years 1996-1998.
>>
>>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 50th, 100th, 150th, etc. signer of this petition,
>>please forward a copy to wein2688 at blue.univnorthco.edu. If that address is
>>inoperative, please send it to kubi7975 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.
