Check it out.
Pennsylvania's State Budget Cuts created by high school student Robin Beisel, has a copy of a letter from State Representative Dave Reed (R-Indiana). It's a blahblahblah letter. I love it.
Save Public Broadcasting in Pennsylvania created by Kregg Heenan, tells his Facebook supporters about Governor Ed Rendell's proposed budget cuts to public broadcasting. There is an attached website where a person can go and take two minutes and complete an online petition to the Governor asking to restore funding. Here is the link: http://www.wqln.org/advocate
Save Public Television created by Lindsey Whissel has extensive information about the cuts and asks you to write to Lt. Gov. Joseph Scarnati, or your own representative.
Protect PA's Progress: Support Governor Rendell's Temporary Tax Increase is created by Ben Schwartz (As a note, he has 1,275 friends! I must get moving!) Ben writes Governor Rendell proposes "a temporary, three-year .5% income tax increase to cover next year's budget shortfall while protecting essential services to students, seniors, veterans, and at-risk communities. This group exists to support that proposal." He adds a link at the bottom to find your legislator and write to support the tax increase. Many of the supporters are members of the Democratic Caucus and Rendell's upper administration, which is a good thing.
Stephen Eugene Foltz started Save The Pennsylvania Library System! His simple outcry--sign the petition to remove the 50% budget cuts to public library funding.
Stop the Elimination of Funding for the Arts in PA created by Thomas Hamilton, asks his members to write to their local representative and tell them to reinstate funding.
One funny thing . . . when I put in the search words, "Pennsylvania Budget," along with the obvious, Ron Paul kept coming up. Weird.

I appreciate your getting the word out. I picked up an article yesterday about the U.S. Department of Education rejecting Ed Rendell's stimulus application. So it seems he'll need to regroup and include these universities. It still remains to be seen what other cuts might occur.
