Spreading the word
From vamysteryfan:Bush's 2009 proposed Federal budget eliminates funding for Reading is Fundamental, a program that distributes 16 million books annually to the nation’s youngest and most at-risk children, at the relatively minimal cost of $26 million.
Visit the Reading is Fundamental website at http://www.rif.org. They have a form where you fill in your zipcode and they send a personalized message to your Congressional representatives.
That $26 million is basically a rounding error in the Department of Defense budget and it's ridiculous that Bush can't find the money somewhere in the vastness of the federal budget.
So seriously, visit the RIF website and click on their Urgent Action Needed link.
