>A serious petition, add your name and send it on.
>
>This is a petition to save Sesame Street. All you do is add your name
>on the list and then forward it to everyone you know. The only time you
>send it to the included address is if you are the 50th, 100th, etc.
>Send it on to everyone you know.
>
>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, the 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
>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. In the instance of the Corporation of Public Broadcasting,
>the bill determines the funding for the next three years. When this
>issue comes up in 1996, the funding will be determined for fiscal years
>1996-1998. 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 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 50th, 100th, 150th, etc. signer of this
>petition, please forward 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 live.
>Thank you.
