Subj: [kl] arts petition
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 1998 02:00:07 -0400

Colleagues,

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. 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 or return to me. Thanks.

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: <wein2688@-----.

Petition: 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 $0.64 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 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 150th, 200th, 250th, etc.,
signer of this petition, please forward a copy to:
<wein2688@-----.> 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.

NOTE: It is preferable that you SELECT the entirety of this letter and then
COPY it into a new outgoing message rather than simply forwarding it. Or if
option is available, do a SEND AGAIN.
