The latest news about PAHR: Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and<br>
Congressman Chris Cannon (R-UT) have just sent a “dear colleague”<br>
letter to the members of the House of Representatives, inviting them to<br>
sign on as original sponsors for the “Preserving the American<br>
Historical Record” bill.<br>
<br>
What should you do? Before May 10,<br>
--fax, email, or call your Representative and<br>
--urge him/her to respond to the Hinchey-Cannon Dear Colleague Letter<br>
and sign on as an original sponsor for the PAHR bill. <br>
--tell your representative in a few sentences why PAHR will benefit his<br>
or her constituents-that means you, your organization, and your<br>
researchers.<br>
--send them the attached explanation of PAHR and the handout explaining<br>
why PAHR will benefit your state. <br>
<br>
And if you can do a little more… Encourage others to contact your<br>
Representative as well. Genealogists, local government officials,<br>
researchers of all kinds, teachers, veterans, and even your favorite<br>
aunt can make the case.<br>
<br>
Attached is a word document copy of this Action Alert, and a copy of<br>
the PAHR fact sheet to assist you in providing information on this<br>
effort. If you need help or more information: We have posted<br>
information on the web at:<br>

You’ll find:<br>
--the PAHR fact sheet,<br>
--a copy of the bill,<br>

--other materials to help you encourage your Representative to support<br>
PAHR.<br>
<br>
If you have any questions about how to proceed, or what PAHR will do<br>
for your organization or state, contact us for help or information. <br>
<br>
Please take a few minutes in the coming week to make a call, pay a<br>
visit, or send a fax/email/letter to your Members of Congress. It’s<br>
time to tell Congress that what we do matters a great deal to this<br>
country and its inhabitants. Americans need and deserve the resources to<br>
ensure access to our heritage. We can do this-with your help!<br>
