Was anyone else out there disgusted by the recent AAM mailing, calling for us
to compose letters to our Congress people and reps, etc, regarding the NEA, why
they shouldn't cut funding etc. etc.  I think it would have been more effective
if they would have sent out an already written form letter, outling specifics,
issues, why the NEA should be supported, the good things the NEA funds, etc,
etc.  This way people would be more likely to plug in the names of their reps
and send the letters off, maybe even xerox extra copies to give to others they
think would be supportive.  If they were really on the ball, they could have
composed an email form letter to send to our reps. and others on the internet.
The way things stand, and I hate to sound unmotivated, but if I have time, I
will write and send off a letter.  However, how many other people will?
