James, I see the message you forwarded about 24 times per year. I'm sorry to say that you have fallen prey to a very old internet hoax. Hoax Busters is a good site to search if you get a suspicious message that has a ring of truth to it. http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/ I did a search there and found an early version of the hoax that caught you: http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/HBUrbanMyths.shtml#pbsnpr Hoax Busters may be a good site to bookmark on your web browser.

Saybolt <jwsaybolt@hotmail.com> Date: Wednesday, January 17, 2001 4:32 PM Subject: If you are so inclined- Apologies if you've already seen this... 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), NEA & 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. [snip]
