[Newspoetry] Don't forward NPR/NEA petition

[Ted Tourlentes]

FYI -

http://www.univnorthco.edu/petition.html

"In 1995 two well-meaning but misguided students at UNC started an 
email petition regarding pending legislation that would affect the 
funding for PBS and NPR. They didn't mean to open a can of worms, but 
they did. The petition is still circulating on the Internet and has 
taken on a life of its own.

If you have received this petition, please delete it and advise 
anyone within hearing distance to do the same."
