Request from the National Women's History Museum

Dear Colleagues, We received a request through the UWHEN website to share urgent information on a bill that would allow the National Women’s History Museum to be built on Federal land. Details are included in the email, below, shared for informational purposes. Should you have questions, please send them directly to Ms. Moser/the Museum staff. Thank you, Shirlayne From: Susan Madsen <MADSENSU(a)uvu.edu<mailto:MADSENSU@uvu.edu>> Date: Monday, July 7, 2014 at 11:53 AM To: "Shirlayne (Me) Quayle" <squayle(a)dixie.edu<mailto:squayle@dixie.edu>> Subject: Fwd: Information request from your website Sent from my iPad Begin forwarded message: From: Joan Moser <jmoser(a)nwhm.org<mailto:jmoser@nwhm.org>> Date: July 7, 2014 at 4:16:26 PM GMT+1 To: <uwhen(a)uvu.edu<mailto:uwhen@uvu.edu>> Subject: Information request from your website Reply-To: Joan Moser <jmoser(a)nwhm.org<mailto:jmoser@nwhm.org>> [Your Name] Joan Moser [Your Email] jmoser(a)nwhm.org<mailto:jmoser@nwhm.org> [Let us know how we can help you.] Dear Professor Madsen, Your name and contact information was given to me by Professor Joyce Kinkead.She is a charter member of our National Women's History Museum. We are trying to build this museum in DC and have more online programs, resources and traveling exhibits. In order to build in DC on Federal land, we need Congressional approval. This is our 4th year trying to get this passed. Our Commission bill passed in the House overwhelmingly in May. In the Senate there are just 2 Senators objecting to our legislation. We need unanimous consent for it to go to the floor for a vote.(They have to pass the identical bill from the House, which is why it is listed as and HR bill in the message below) Senator Lee from Utah is one who is objecting. (The other is Sen. Coburn in Oklahoma) We now have an an urgent grassroots campaign underway to get as many persons as possible in Utah to send the email message below to his office. One of his objections is that we will come back for congressional money later. We have it listed in the bill that it will be privately funded. Dear Senator Lee, I understand you are objecting to HR 863,Commission Legislation for a National Women’s History Museum. The bill states that no federal monies will be used for this project and includes that the Commission will report back to Congress on a fundraising plan that will fund the Museum and its operations in perpetuity. No museum legislation has ever included such language. I strongly urge you to remove your objection so the bill can pass by unanimous consent. Sincerely, Name address Here is his email link: lee.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contact<http://lee.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contact> Would you support our Utah campaign? If so, please share this request with your network and any organizations in your State who you think will be supportive. Here is our website if you need additional information: nwhm.org<http://nwhm.org> We have a small office with an 8 person staff in Virginia and the contact information is below. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Thank you for your consideration of this urgent request. All the Best, Joan E. Joan E.
