Dear Friends, Family, Ensemble Supporters,
We are outraged that the man(?) in the White House is cutting off funding
to public radio and television and sending it to Iraq. We, along with the theatre and arts community of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, greatly support National Public Radio(NPR) and the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). Between these two outlets, more public arts funding programs are seen and heard throughout the United States and Canada.
Please consider the consequences of this slashing of these public funds from these vital rgans of free press and alternatives to commercial radio and television. As usual, our children will suffer from the absence of these essential public organs.
Please add your name to the attached petition. Several attempts by Bush in the past to cut off funds have been defeated, and we can do it again.
It is up to you, again.
Martin Cosentino
Special Projects Associate
Ensemble Theatre of Cleveland

If you are already a MoveOn.org Member you will have seen this most recent =
petition already. If you have not signed yet, I respectfully request that y=
ou do so now.
For several years the Bush administration has been trying to cut funding fo=
r NPR and PBS. Late last year, Bush tried to make it happen again. Petition=
s like this one were signed, the people spoke and the funds were kept in pl=
ace.
The Bush Man is trying again. The most recent budget proposed by W - the on=
e that is trying to make the upper class tax cuts permanent and boost funds=
for the war in Iraq - reccommends a budget cut to NPR/PBS of 25%.
Unacceptable.
Please read the following and if you feel that these
public programming channels should be maintained as a forum for family
friendly, educational, rounded, commercial free programming, please join th=
e
effort to stop the budget cut.
Dear
MoveOn member,
George W. Bush is trying=E2=80=94yet again=E2=80=94to slash funding for NPR=
and PBS. This
week, Bush proposed a new budget with devastating cuts to public
broadcasting.1 "Sesame Street" and other ad-free kids' shows are under the
knife. So is the independent journalism our country needs.
Enough is enough. We've fought this fight before and won=E2=80=94but we can=
't afford
the risk anymore. With the new Congress, we can make sure this never happen=
s
again. We need Congress to insulate NPR and PBS from the political winds.
*We can make it happen if enough of us sign this petition: **"Congress must
save NPR and PBS once and for all. Congress should guarantee permanent
funding and independence from partisan meddling." *Clicking here will add
your name to the petition:
http://civ.moveon.org/publicbroadcasting/o.pl?id=3D9851-4859717-TiOrIDAnThY=
bmGOVDlA.vQ&t=3D2
After you sign, please forward this email to your friends, family, and
co-workers to keep this campaign going. We'll deliver the petition to
members of Congress as they consider Bush's budget=E2=80=94offering a publi=
c
counterpoint to this dangerous attack.
Congress can protect NPR and PBS from future cuts. The long-term solution t=
o
save public radio and TV is to:
- fully restore this year's funding
- guarantee a permanent funding stream free from political pressure
- reform how the money is spent and keep partisan appointees from
pushing a political bias
Bush's budget would cut federal funds for public broadcasting by nearly 25%=
.
1 According to PBS, the cuts "could mean the end of our ability to support
some of the most treasured educational children's series" like "Sesame
Street," "Reading Rainbow," and "Arthur."2
As telecommunications chair Rep. Ed Markey said, "In a 24-7 television worl=
d
with content often inappropriate for young children, the public broadcastin=
g
system represents an oasis of quality, child-oriented educational
programming. We owe America's children and their parents this free,
over-the-air resource."1
The cuts could also decimate one of the last remaining sources of watchdog
reporting on TV=E2=80=94continuing the partisan war on journalism led by th=
e
ex-chair of public broadcasting, Ken Tomlinson.3 More people trust public
broadcasting than any corporate news media.4 President Bush would rather
undermine our free press than face reporters who are asking tough questions=
.
*Let's put an end to the constant threats to NPR and PBS. Let's ask Congres=
s
to guarantee funding and stop partisan meddling. *Clicking here will add
