[Davis Democrats] Petition to Keep NPR and PBS funded and running - it's in danger

[Adrienne Kandel]

 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 whobelieve 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.
