Reading is Fundamental Funding Update

CEO Carol H. Rasco of RIF sent a thank you and an update to the recent "Dear Colleague" campaign to save RIF's funding for 2009. Thanks to some of you who responded to my post, more than 45,000 RIF supporters sent e-mails, phone calls, letters, and faxes to Congress and this year more legislators than ever before signed the funding letter. Democracy in action is a beautiful thing. Check to see if your senator and or representatives signed. If they did, be sure to send them a note of thanks.

Reading is Fundamental Needs Your Help



The president's 2009 proposed budget eliminates funding for the book distribution program for the country's most at risk 16 million children.

Please ACT NOW and help RIF build support by sending an e-mail to your members of Congress asking them to sign the RIF Dear Colleague letter. More Info.

This is important, so please help spread the word. You can check the list at the website of all members of Congress who have signed on to fight for funding. RIF has made it very easy to find and send either email or letters to your Congressional representatives. It will only take a couple of minutes of your time, but could make such a difference. Thank you.
