>> subject: Petition for NEA/NPR
>>
>>
>> Hello all - this is super important! please sign and send on!!!
>>
>> NPR/PBS Petition - Quick Sign
>>
>> The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the issue of whether public
>> funding to an artist can be linked with the idea of whether the art
>> is 'decent.' After the Robert Mapplethorpe "scandal" not so long
>>ago,
>> Congress passed a law that for an artist's art to receive public
>>money=
>>
>> via the National Endowment for the Arts, it must be deemed decent.
>>
>> On NPR Morning Edition this morning, Nina Tottenberg said that if
>> the Supreme Court supports Congress, it is in effect the end of NEA.
>> Then,there's the question of Congressional funding: Funding for
>> NPR/NEA
>> & PBS.
>>
>> 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 not
>> worthwhile.
>>
>> 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. 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. 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 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.
>>
>> This petition is being passed around the internet. Please add your
>> name
>> to it so that funding can be maintained for the NEA, NPR & PBS.
>> 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. This is being forwarded to several
>> people
>> at once to add their names to the petition. It won't matter if many
>> people receive the same list as the names are being managed. This is
>> for
>> anyone who thinks NPR/PBS is a worthwhile expenditure of $1.12/year
>> of
>> their taxes, a petition follows.
>>
>> If you sign, please forward on to others.
>> If not, please don't kill it - send it to the email address listed
>> here:
>>
>> [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
>>
>> ****If you happen to be the 150th, 200th, 250th, etc. signer of this
>> petition, please forward a copy to: [log in to unmask]
>> 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.
