thanks Amy: Along with everything else about our government lately, I find this very distressing.
-----Original Message----- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Amy Harlib Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 10:37 AM To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Save NPR and PBS [EMAIL PROTECTED] I absolutely signed and passed this message on! Amy Congress is poised to very soon slash funding for NPR and PBS. Sign the petition telling Congress to save NPR and PBS: http://www.moveon.org/publicbroadcasting/ A House panel has voted to eliminate all funding for NPR and PBS, starting with "Sesame Street," "Reading Rainbow," and other commercial-free children's shows. If approved, this would be the most severe cut in the history of public broadcasting, threatening to pull the plug on Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch. The cuts would slash 25% of the federal funding this year -- $100 million -- and end funding altogether within two years. The loss could kill beloved children's shows like "Clifford the Big Red Dog," "Arthur," and "Postcards from Buster." Rural stations and those serving low-income communities might not survive. Other stations would have to increase corporate sponsorships. If we can reach 250,000 signatures by the end of the week, we'll put Congress on notice. http://www.moveon.org/publicbroadcasting/ Thanks! P.S.
