This morning, Paul Ryan called for the complete elimination of funding for the National Endowment for the Humanities in his FY 2015 budget resolution.  The NEH provides critical support for linguistics research, including the Documenting Endangered Languages program, which is jointly funded by the National Science Foundation.

You may express your views about the Ryan Proposal by contacting your elected officials. By signing on to the Senate Dear Colleague letter, your Senators can demonstrate support for NEH funding to the appropriations committee members that hold the agency's future in their hands.

The deadline for Senators to sign on to the letter is Friday, April 4.
