: Hello list.
:
: I'm forwarding this since I know that many of us rely on the audio format
of
: NPR news programs, and the support to disability communities through PBS.
: Both are now in serious and immediate danger of governmental funding cuts,
: once again.
:
: We are all in a position to help with a simple, quick, from home action.
:
: Thank you all in advance for your help.

: Dear MoveOn member,
: In less than a day, we've blown past our goal-more than 300,000 of us have
: signed the petition to save NPR and PBS from losing public funding. This
is
: huge, but we need your help.
:
: Tomorrow, the House Appropriations Committee will decide whether to
approve
: these severe cuts to NPR and PBS. We can stop the cuts-and save public TV
: and radio-with a strong show of public outrage. We'll report to the
: committee members on our petition before they vote.
:
: Can you help us reach 400,000 signers by the end of the day?

and
: neighbors who count on NPR and PBS. You can use the note below.

:
: Hi,
:
: You know that email petition that keeps circulating about how Congress is
: slashing funding for NPR and PBS? Well, now it's actually true. (Really.
: Check at the bottom if you don't believe me.)
:
: Sign the petition telling Congress to save NPR and PBS:
:
: http://www.moveon.org/publicbroadcasting/?t=2
:
: A House panel has voted to eliminate all public 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.
:
: The next vote on the cuts will take place tomorrow (Thursday). Help us
reach
: 400,000 signatures to be delivered to the committee members.
