We have been extremely busy trying to make everyone aware of the President's plan to cut the Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) funds, which have traditionally been given to states to provide anti-poverty programs. Attached is a very helpful article written by Melissa Boteach of the Center for American Progress Action Fund. She has some suggestions for ways to save CSBG and other programs and offers alternatives to these cuts.

Please take a few moments to read the article and if you feel that her suggestions make sense, contact your appropriate legislator and let them know.
I invite you to post your comments and suggestions too.
