Just a thought: while the curatorship of maps is at its best when it is
neutrally nurturing, I should think that there are fewer more political
tools in the world than maps themselves.
Personal note: Angie et al, glad that WI remains intact
cartographically, so to speak, thanks to your and yours' fine service. I
was born on the UW-Madison campus, and am always grateful that the right
doctor was there to save my life as an infant. Frank Lloyd Wright was in
town to promote his Monona Terrace, which would eventually (finally!)
transform the USGS topo quad just a tad. At any rate, like Alice, I
offer my solidarity to the current cause. (Apologies for the un-paid
political announcement...)

Hello Alice (and everyone),
Thank you very much for your concern for us and our future. We are all
at work, our collection is intact and we expect to be here for the
foreseeable future.
I'll keep you posted should anything change.

p.s. Not only is our collection intact but we recently acquired the
archives of the AGS of NY for processing. Pretty exciting stuff for us
and American geography ...

Actually, I am much more worried about my _colleagues_ than policy.
However, the threat _today,_ of 1400, or is it 4000, layoffs of
Wisconsin government workers may well threaten, as I very precisely
delineated, the _American Geographical Society Library_ and the _History
of Cartography Project_.
Sometimes government policy has a direct effect on human beings and on
culture, both of which are aspects of these two organizations we are
all, or some of us, are grateful for.
In both cases, letters and donations from their colleagues, friends and
new supporters, for example, might be critical in the near future.

Surely it would be better to leave politics out of this list.

I am more and more concerned about our map colleagues who are State
employees in Wisconsin. How are you all in Madison [History of
Cartography project] and Milwaukee [AGSL]?
Anything you need us to do -- write emails, letters, send checks, offer
prayers, come and demonstrate, boycott cheese, send congratulatory
messages to Gov. Walker on the fine job he is doing? How can we help?
