PBS and NPR - Petition

PBS and NPR - Petition

Below is a prime example of a chain letter that keeps circulating the Internet. If you receive this chain letter, please delete.

David Brumley, the Network Administer at University of Northern Colorado informed CIAC of the following: "In 1995, a couple of students wrote a letter and sent it out to support funding for PBS and NPR. This letter was not intended to be a hoax, but instead was only a misguided attempt by some students of ours to do some good. After reading through the CIAC section on HOAX's, I decided to go ahead and verify that in fact this one should not be circulated. The students (one of whom has left the university since the posting) have been reprimanded."

Subject: PBS and NPR - petition
Please read this VERY IMPORTANT petition! I hope you will then sign it 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 (as opposed to, say, Newt Gingrich's salary?), 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:

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 sub-
committees 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.
