(for help)

_________________________________________________________________

         Save Sesame Street from being cancelled!!!!!!

       This is a petition to save Sesame Street.  ALL YOU 

DO IS ADD

YOUR

NAME TO THE LIST AT THE BOTTOM, 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 commitees each 

have 13

subcommitees with jurisdiction over many programs and 

agencies.  Each

subcommitee 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 ofthe 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, the House of

Representatives and

Congress.
       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 alive.

                                               Thank you.
