The U.S. House of Representatives is
scheduled to shortly begin floor consideration of the FY 2008 Interior appropriations
bill. As you might have read in our Arts Action Alerts in the past few
weeks, this bill includes an historic $35 million increase for the
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). This increase will bring the
NEA budget to $160 million and will provide new funding for the grants to
state and local organizations, Challenge America, and American
Masterpieces programs. This directly
affects your state!
We ask that you take just two minutes to
visit our Americans for the Arts E-Advocacy Center to contact your Members of Congress
and ask them to support this funding by voting to approve this bill, and
oppose any efforts to reduce this support for the NEA. With a few clicks,
you can send a customizable message to your Representative and Senators.
It only takes two minutes to make a
difference - please send this message now!
