Economic Stimulus:
A Few Things We Can All Do



Feeling a bit helpless as the relentless, ruthless Republican attack machine again aims its' destructive efforts toward the heart of President Obama's efforts to turn the economy around and stimulate jobs and vital arenas of our culture?

Here are some items from Americans for the Arts which are useful and will make your efforts meaningful.

Arts Advocates Push for NEA Funding in Final Stimulus Bill
Americans for the Arts and grassroots advocates across the country are building support for funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in the final economic recovery package. Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed their version of the Economic Recovery Package by a vote of 244 to 188, which successfully included $50 million in supplemental grants funding for the NEA; however, the Senate bill currently does not include this funding. Write your members of Congress to urge them to support the arts in this legislation.

Arts Advocates Fight to Protect NEA Funding in Economic Recovery Package
As the Senate Appropriations Committee begins considerations of the economic recovery legislation on Tuesday and the House is expected to pass their version of the package this week, arts advocates from across the country are contacting their members of Congress to ensure that funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is included. Visit the Americans for the Arts E-Advocacy Center to send a letter to your members of Congress and urge them to support the NEA in the economic recovery package.
