Month: July 2010
NHPRC Reauthorization Needs Your Help Now!
NHPRC reauthorization passed the Senate (S. 2872) on July 12, but has not passed the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (H. 5616). It is vital that they pass together, which means that the House version must pass before the first week of August!
Please consider contacting the members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee TODAY and urge them to support the passage of H. 5616!
Advice on how to do this, from SAA:
All Members of Congress can be reached via the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Letters, e-mails, and phone calls from constituents within each member’s district are most effective, but so are contacts by individual members of national, state, regional, and local organizations. A list of the House Committee members, with direct links to their office websites and phone numbers, is available on the National Coalition for History website as is a briefing paper with information to assist in making your case for NHPRC.
