A Call to Action!

The budgetary wrangling in Congress has gone from bad to worse, with potential cuts to the National Endowment for the Humanities approaching $22 million. Don't let this happen! Contact your Congressman and make your voice heard. Here is a LINK to reach your representative.

Here is a message from Jim Leach, Chairman of the NEH:

"There are, of course, costs to all public programs, but the cost of not supporting some could be far higher. Just as we need an infrastructure of roads and bridges, we need an infrastructure of ideas. In a splintered world, bridging cultures may be our most difficult challenge."

Remember - for those who argue that we need to tighten our belts in tough, economic times - the total budget for the NEH is not even a drop in the bucket for the federal budget, and these cuts will literally make no difference in reducing our deficit. But these cuts will have a large and damaging impact on the communities that the NEH serves. So click the LINK and make your voice heard!
