*URGE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TO JOIN THE CONGRESSIONAL HISTORY CAUCUS*


As you may have read in our recent email, President Trump is once again 
threatening to gut history-related agencies and programs. His budget 
request for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 proposes the elimination of the 
National Endowment for the Humanities, Institute of Museum and Library 
Services, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, 
and several key education and preservation programs. As we fight to 
ensure that these proposals do not become law, our most important assets 
are our allies in Congress. That’s why this is the perfect time to make 
a major push for the Congressional History Caucus.

We are asking you to make it a top priority to promote the caucus by 
contacting your representative and sharing it on social media. The NCH 
website has a page devoted solely to the caucus 
<https://historycoalition.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=08692bfb14b4b62cef6bb2878&id=fa642404ff&e=8e8580b8fb> 
that provides step-by-step directions on how you can call or email your 
representative and ask them to join the caucus. It also includes the 
“Dear Colleague” letter 
<https://historycoalition.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=08692bfb14b4b62cef6bb2878&id=5883b22c07&e=8e8580b8fb> circulated 
a few months ago by Congressmen John Larson (D-CT), Tom Cole 
(R-OK),**and Bill Pascrell (D-NJ), soliciting members of Congress to 
join the caucus in 2018.

Since we are not specifically asking for funding or a policy change you 
will likely get a positive response if you take the time to make the 
request. *But the simple truth is Members of Congress are unlikely to 
join unless they are asked to do so by their constituents! *Please help 
us in this effort to build a strong and vibrant History Caucus.

*_What does the History Caucus do?_*
The purpose of the caucus is to provide a forum for members of Congress 
to share their interest in history and to promote an awareness of the 
subject on Capitol Hill. NCH leadership feels it is important for the 
historical community to be perceived as a resource by Congress instead 
of just another constituent seeking funding. The key to success on 
Capitol Hill is having relationships in place before you need them. The 
History Caucus increases NCH’s visibility and provides a network of 
supporters in Congress that we can reach out to when issues arise.

Some of the activities the History Caucus leadership has planned include:

  * Lectures by prominent historians and policy makers to provide
    historical context and perspective on current and past issues. This
    includes promoting lectures sponsored by the National History Center.
  * Promotion on the Hill of events and exhibits at the Library of
    Congress, National Archives, the Smithsonian and other historical
    institutions in Washington.
  * Establishing relationships between Members of Congress and
    historians, the Architect of the Capitol, former Members of
    Congress, historical institutions and history departments at
    academic institutions in their district.
  * Programs designed to increase awareness of history both on Capitol
    Hill and among their constituents, especially students.
