Preserving the American Historical Record

Ok, it's not often that I ask ye socks to take action on something.

But, this is one of those times.

I'd like to ask you to contact your member of Congress, and ask them to support HR6056--the "Preserving the American Historical Record" bill.

This is a bi-partisan piece of legislation currently being co-sponsored by Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and Chris Cannon (R-UT) to increase support for state and local archives, historical societies, and libraries with $50 million in annual grants to be administered by the National Archives.

Oh, and thanks in advance for participating in this little bit of civic activism . . .
