Dear Arts Advocate:

We have just learned that Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) will likely offer a
floor amendment in the Senate this afternoon (June 27) that would cut
funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) by $5 million in FY
2006. We ask that you take two minutes to HYPERLINK
"http://capwiz.com/artsusa/utr/1/HTQXEVAFWH/LNGZEVAGGD/"contact your
Senators and urge them to vote against this amendment.

As you will recall, the Senate Appropriations Committee on June 9 passed an
amendment that increased FY 2006 funding for the NEA by $5 million, the
first such increase that the Appropriations Committee has offered in five
years. However, Senator Coburn’s floor amendment would remove this increase,
thereby flat-funding the agency at this year’s level. 

We expect that Sen. Coburn will offer his amendment later today. The full
Senate will likely vote on the amendment tomorrow morning. Please HYPERLINK
"http://capwiz.com/artsusa/utr/1/HTQXEVAFWH/EMIDEVAGGE/"send a message to
your Senators by 11 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 28, to ensure that they vote
against this decrease in arts funding. Thank you for your continued arts
advocacy.
