Good morning, Museum-L: No, AAM didn't provide pre-fabricated form letters to send to our various congress-people. AAM didn't provide lists of reasons why the NEA and the NEH should not be dimantled. AAM didn't encourage us to vote, either. If you will pardon me for expressing a certain amount of anger in an electronic forum, it is _because_ of all the unmotivated, too-busy-to think-about-it people that congress has taken on the composition it has, and, as a consequence, the NEA, the NEH, the CPB, and, so I'm told, ALL government funding for academic research, are in danger of being dis- continued. That is a terrible scenario--unthinkable to most of us. Why just sit there? These views are my own, not my institution's. Jenni Rodda, Curator, Institute of Fine Arts [log in to unmask]
