Got this and thought readers might enjoy another “change.” This is an excellent program and one worth saving.

Judy,

I just wanted to follow up with you on this grassroots parenting movement to save an important early literacy program.

President Obama’s 2011 proposed budget cuts funding for Reading is Fundamental – RIF is a longtime kids’ program that provides free books to millions of kids. RIF receives 80% of its funding from the government.

Currently, the organization is rallying parents, educators and the community with a ‘write your politician campaign’ on the internet – already thousands have offered their support. You just go to www.rif.org and sign your name – that’s it!

Without federal funding, more than 4.4 million children and families will not receive free books or reading encouragement from RIF programs.
