Dear public servant:
I am writing to ask you to sign on to the appropriations letter being circulated by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, requesting funding for the Office of Museum Services (OMS) at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

It is normal to hear people say: "Think positive!", to someone who feels down and worried. Most people do not take these words seriously, as they do not know what they mean, or do not consider them as useful and effective.
