Dear Senator,
Just say No to the Coburn Amendment #4697!
What will you do support vital national projects such as:
- Teach for America
- Reading is Fundamental
- Reach Out and Read
These vital projects will lose their funding through this broad-brush approach to banning earmarks AND authorized projects. This can only affect the poorest of our state’s children and our nation’s future!
Reach Out and Read is a research proven, cost effective program run by thousands of medical practitioners who volunteer their time to running the program. In 2010 we served 121,000 of Virginia’s children and their families.
Please forward this to all your friends and colleagues and ask them to support us. You can also Support RIF directly
