i hate to burst everyone's philanthropic bubble, but this "petition" has
been circulating around the internet for at least 3 and a half years, if not
longer. the phrasing hasn't changed, and the copy sounds just as alarming
as it did the first time i saw it. my point is this: while we all feel it
is a great idea to support the nea (i doubt anyone would dispute this), we
have to be careful about what we send around. this type of junk e-mail
clogs many a terminal, and one of the great things about this list is that
it weeds those types out by its very nature. it is no worse to spread the
"click here and bill gates will send you $1000" types of chain letters than
it is to send these. i don't mean to sound like a crank, but i have
literally seen this over 100 times (now i doubt that nina totenberg has been
reporting the same story all this time) and it does tend to get a bit
tiresome. the ideas for sending this around are great, but we should think
before we click.
i'm really not as cranky as i sound, honest.

> On NPR's Morning Edition, Nina Totenberg reported that if the
> Supreme Court supports Congress to cut the budget of the National
> Endowment of the Arts, it is in effect the end of NEA. This
> situation creates great concerns about Congressional funding for creative
> arts in America, since NEA provides major support for NPR (National
> Public Radio), PBS (Public Broadcasting System), and numerous other
> creative and performing arts. If NEA is lost or weakened, our lives will
> be similarly diminished. 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. Please
> add your name to this list and forward it to friends who you believe
> are in favor of what this stands for. The full list will be forwarded to
> the President of the United States, the Vice President, and the
> Speaker of the House, whose office has in the past been the instigator
> of the action to cut funding to these worthwhile programs.
>
> This petition is being passed around the Internet. Please add

> PBS. THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO MAKE INTERNET TECHNOLOGY WORK AS A VOICE IN OUR
> DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM. IT'S EASIER THAN EVER TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD.
>
> Please keep the petition rolling. Do not reply to me. Sign
> your name and locale to the list and forward it to others to sign. If
> you prefer not to, please send the list to the email address given
