From Save Service: The government is currently operating under a short-term resolution that will expire Friday, April 8th. As that deadline nears, House and Senate leadership have resumed high-level budget negotiations in hopes of drafting a FY11 budget bill that has enough support to pass both chambers and end the current legislative stalemate.
Right now Congress is deeply divided and the end-game is very uncertain. That’s why you need to pick up the phone today and ask your Senators to pass a year-long spending bill that funds the Corporation for National and Community Service. Remind them that these programs work in every state and have deep support in local communities.
Visit http://www.saveservice.org/ to find out how to call - they'll provide a number that links you directly with your Senator, background info on the bill, and detailed talking points for your call.
AmeriCorps and other community service organizations help make our work at Higher Achievement possible - please take a moment today to make your voice heard.
