SAVE--ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS, PBS AND NPR...SIGN TODAY

PLEASE SIGN THE FOLLOWING PETITIONS TO KEEP THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS....++++



PLEASE SIGN THE FOLLOWING PETITIONS  TO KEEP THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS....

                                                              
DEFEND NPR AND PBS


1. Tell Congress: Don't pull the plug on NPR and PBS!


In a recently released budget proposal, House Republicans announced plans to zero out all funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the nonprofit responsible for funding public media including NPR, PBS and more. Take action now to stop Republicans from destroying public media.


2. Targeting: The U.S. House of Representatives, Started by: Adriel Luis


This month, the Republican Study Committee introduced the Spending Reduction Act – a bill aimed to cut $2.5 trillion in government programs.  Included in the list of 55 agencies to be eliminated are clean energy programs (like EnergyStar), arts programs (like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Endowment for the Arts), environmental programs (like weatherization and beach erosion funds), public housing programs, benefits for federal employees, and international aid.

The Republican Study Committee is comprised of the majority of House Republicans, and they are claiming that the Spending Reduction Act is drafted as a result of "listening to the people." Please take a moment to sign this petition and let our representatives that cutting these programs is NOT the way to relieve national debt.
