I keep getting this letter. Last time was yesterday, and it always says the same thing. I heard Nina Totenberg mention the problem several years ago, but now circulation of this letter probably amounts to spam. If you want to ensure that NPR, PBS, and the NEA keep getting funded, you're better off to send your own letter or email to your representatives. These big petitions that keep going around don't get looked at. However the funding has been cut substantially in the past few years, (though not cut off), which is why we should all respond to the fund drives, and get our friends to do the same. (This is also maybe why our public radio IS pretty independant. We ALL own it.)

Friends don't let friends listen to NPR without joining?
