Tell your Representative to vote yes for education increases in the budget resolution The House of Representatives Budget committee will vote on the federal budget for fiscal year 2007 next week. Committee members need to vote yes for increases to the

budget for education and child welfare related funding. Committee members need to hear from you! The Senate voted last week to increase funding for education and health programs, now the House must do the same. Take Action! Call your Representative and tell him or her that children matter. Tell your representative that * Adequate funding for education and child welfare programs is essential to the economic prosperity of our country. * If we are serious about keeping America competitive, we must be equally serious about our support of education and child welfare programs. Investing in America’s children is an investment in both the current and future economic well-being of our nation. * Urge him or her to vote for adoption of the amendment Rep. DeLauro will offer during committee markup Wednesday. This amendment is identical to the Specter-Harkin amendment the Senate adopted two weeks ago by an overwhelming majority. * Congress must adopt a budget resolution that will strengthen our nation’s commitment to our children and families.
