The $3 million is a LOAN to begin the construction process. It is not stimulus money. It is money that the museum will pay back through the capital campaign that is currently underway.

EAST: I like what you have to say. Thank you for sharing that, it's nice to see that people are willing to speak up and speak out.

What I think would be a great idea is if you would send an email to Bart Stupak. He and his aides really to get the emails and they do respond, not with one of those 'group' emails or form letters, either. They respond specifically to you regarding your concerns. I have made quite a few of my opinions known to Mr. Stupak regarding some of his choices and also what I would like to see done in the future. Will it change his mind about things? Maybe not, but if enough of the voting public expresses themselves, he's bound to hear what we're saying. Ya know?
His website is: http://www.house.gov/stupak/

There is a place on the top right corner of his website where you can email him. I seriously suggest you, and everyone else who has a voice, email him with your concerns.
