Send Lincoln to Congress
Donation protected
Hi - Some members of Congress already have a copy of the book Abraham Lincoln and Mexico. Now, we want to give two copies of the book to all 535 members of the U.S. Congress, regardless of party affiliation. As co-founder of the Lincoln and Mexico Project (LAMP), I invite you to help with this effort.
It's a great book, and can help Congress understand historical relations between the two countries because it examines Lincoln's support for Mexico as Congressman and President. In fact, the book is in the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, and has been nominated for the William M. LeoGrande Prize for best book about U.S.-Latin American historical relations. And the Smithsonian Magazine wrote a lengthy feature article about it.
This outreach is a critical part of the overall LAMP efforts to stimulate discussions about improving relationships between the USA and Mexico. It's also a very timely topic, and the book addresses the question: What would Lincoln do?
We need to raise $12,000 no later than June to allow time to deliver books for all members during July -- one copy in their Washington, DC offices, and one for their offices back home . Each $10 covers the wholesale cost of one copy from the distributor, including shipping and handling.
Won't you help us? Thank you.
