Subject: RE: NPR and National Endowement For The Arts

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) & 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 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 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 is for anyone who thinks these programs are a worthwhile
expenditure of $1.12/year of their taxes. The list will be forwarded to
the President and the Vice President of the United States.

HOW TO SIGN & FORWARD: IT'S EASY:
