Dear Ms. Klaver:
Thank you for contacting me regarding funding for the arts. I completely agree with you that funding artistic creation and performance is important and worthwhile.
I am, and have always been, a strong supporter of the arts, both the performing arts - music, theater, and dance - and the visual arts. Throughout my career in Congress, I have consistently voted in favor of grants for artistic endeavors, including funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and as your Senator, I will continue to do so.
New York has always served as the center for the arts in the United States, and as such it has benefitted more from Federal funding than any other state. If we are to remain the leader in the arts world, it is critical that New York continue to receive its fair share of Federal dollars.
Again, thank you for contacting me regarding this important issue. Please feel free to contact me again if I can be of any further assistance on this or any other matter.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Schumer
United States Senator
Send your own email to your senators and congresspeeps asking them to vote against cutting funding for the NEA here; it takes two minutes, and the email is already written for you, although you can add a personal message.
