Excellent
Work! The House
and Senate
Appropriations
Committees have
heard you loud
and clear; the
Committee
understands
NSCA's interest
in maintaining
level funding
for National
Senior Corps
programs. THANK
YOU! Great
work! You
no longer need
to call the
Appropriations
Committees.
Now
let's go to the
next step...
Call
TODAY!
Even if you
called the
Appropriations
Committee
earlier today,
we now need you
to call you
Representative
and Senators.
Call, email or
fax now:
Go
to the web site
for the House of
Representatives
(ww.house.gov)
and the US
Senate (www.senate.gov)
and find your
member of
Congress.
Call or email
your member of
Congress with the
same message.
MESSAGE:
As
Congress
considers cuts
to
appropriations
funding, I am
calling as a
supporter of the
National Senior
Corps programs
funded by Labor
HHS
appropriations;
I urge that the
meager funding
for these vital
programs not be
cut further.
These programs
have received
only level
funding for
three years,
considering
inflation, this
is three years
of cuts.
The National
Senior Corps
Association
speaks for 1,335
program
directors
nationwide and
486,500 senior
volunteers
contributing
120,600,000
hours of service
annually. All
of these
advocates, along
with the clients
we serve and
their families,
urge you not to
cut funding to
Senior Corps
programs.
Thank
you.
Your Name and
Program
Thank
you in advance
for taking 10
minutes to
call or fax your
Representatives
and Senators!
