SAVE AMERICORPS Sign the petition

Many of you may have received an email from me about this, but a lot of you have Hotmail and it is blocking my email, I got about half of them back, so if we have ever emailed each other and you didn't get an email from me this morning that's why. If you have a Hotmail account I cannot email you....
A tea party group of house members have voted to eliminate all funding to the Americorps program.I have worked with a lot of folks through Hidden Voices that were in the Americorps program and they are some of the finest people I have ever met. Please take a moment to go here and sign the petition to help save this valuable program!!!!

OK, did it. Geeze what's not getting axed?! My largest concern is for PBS and NPR right now getting the ax...

I agree with you completely. Americorp and Peacecorp are amazing organizations that allow for individuals to contribute a significant part of their life to make others life extraordinary, or a least better.

All of the funding and budget cut issues are stressing me out and making me wonder if "we" are ever going to look the same.

Save Americorps is right!!!!
