On Thursday, June 29, the Appropriations Committee of the U.S. Senate will recommend next year’s funding level for the National Endowment for the Arts. Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois is a member of the Appropriations Committee and it would be in our national interest to urge his continued support for an increase of $10 million for the NEA. You can help make a difference in a couple of minutes by visiting the Americans for the Arts E-Advocacy Center and contacting him or your own senator if you are not from Illinois. From this site you can send a stock e-mail, a mix of your own thoughts and the stock thoughts, or can do your own letter entirely.
I encourage you to at least add a paragraph that refers to any other local arts agency that you support. Though the Senator himself may not read your message, the aides who receive and track these things look for affiliations that may represent more than an individual vote.
