On November 8, you have a vote to cast—and YOUR vote is IMPORTANT!
This year, all 441 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and one-third of the U.S. Senate—34 in total—are up for election. The Arts Action Fund of Americans for the Arts has produced the
2016 Congressional Arts Report Card
as your one-stop guide to learn if your Congressional delegation supports the arts and arts education. Simply click the link above for all recent voting records; you’ll find Missouri on page 12-13 of the Report Card.
(Info on Presidential Candidates can be found here under News & Views on the MCA website as well).
The stakes are very high. Your help is needed to:
•Increase funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and the Humanities
•Stand up for every child’s right to a well-rounded education that includes the arts
•Elevate the arts to a cabinet level advisor
•Protect charitable giving tax incentives
Please be an informed voter as you prepare to cast your vote in November. The ARTS thank you!
