National Public Radio in Trouble!!!!!!!!!!!
by jazzcat on Aug.21, 2004, under News
On NPR's Morning Edition last week, Nina Tottenberg said that if
theSupreme 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 of funding 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 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 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, &
the NEA.
HOW TO SIGN & FORWARD: IT'S EASY: Please keep this petition
