  • NPR/PBS Petition?

    I guess this is real. I do not feel like researching it and I do not want to take the chance, though I doubt these things make a difference.
    --------------------------------

    Dear Friends,
    On NPR's Morning Edition last week, Nina Tottenberg
    said that if the Supreme Court supports Congress, it
    is in effect the end of the National Public Radio
    (NPR), National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the
    Public Broadcasting System (PBS).
    PBS, NPR 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,
    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.
    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 who believe in what this stands for. This list
    will be forwarded to the President and the Vice
    President of the United States.
    This petition is being passed around the Internet.
    Please add your name to it so that funding can be
    maintained for NPR, PBS, & the NEA.
    HOW TO SIGN & FORWARD: IT'S EASY: 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 below.
    DON'T WORRY ABOUT DUPLICATES. 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 stop it. Send it to the Email address
    listed here:
    wein2688@blue.univnorthco.edu OR
    kubi7975@blue.univnorthco.edu
    If you happen to be the 150th, 200th, 250th, etc.,
    signer of this petition, please forward a copy to:
    wein2688@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!
    NOTE: It is preferable that you SELECT (highlight) the
    entirety of this letter and then COPY it into a new
    outgoing message, rather than simply forwarding it. In
    your new outgoing message, add your name to the bottom
    of the list, then send it on.

        How can that be tracked? This is starting to sound like one of those e-mail hoaxes that is just designed to bog down servers.

          It may be, but like I said, I did not feel like doing the research or taking the chance. Send it if you want. No obligation. With regards to being tracked, every fiftieth sender is supposed to sens it to the source of the email; the addresses are in there.
