Subject: Arts funding
(forwarded from friends:)
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 for 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, and then forward the list to anyone else you think might
want to sign it. 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 a copy to wein2688@blue.univnorthco.edu. If
that address is inoperative, please use 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 alive.
Thank you.
