Mostly of US interest.
Advocate for the Arts allows you to email your representatives and show your support for the arts in the Economic Stimulus Package now in the Senate (recently, most funding for the arts was eliminated).
It is fast, easy, and for a good cause. Thanks to Greenleaf Music for the tip.
