Guess reading isn’t that fundamental after all
Gotta pay for that 3 trillion dollar war somewhere, right?
ACT NOW TO REINSTATE RIF’S FUNDING
The President’s proposed fiscal year 2009 budget released yesterday eliminates the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program, which is the RIF Book Distribution Program. Unless Congress reinstates funding for this program, RIF would be unable to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation’s youngest and most at-risk children.
RIF will work hard with our Congressional champions to demonstrate the importance of reinstating RIF’s funding in this budget. The process will be long and involve significant time and energy. We will need active supporters like you with us every step of the way. We know with certainty your voice, as a constituent, is the most important resource we have to make sure Congress reinstates RIF’s funding.</em>
Stunning what priorities our leaders hold, ain’t it?
