E action center: What time is it?

It's time to Invest in America.

Within the next day or so, the U.S. Senate will vote on a spending bill that provides federal funding for services that many AFSCME members provide to America's families.

The Labor-Health and Human Services-Education spending bill helps fund child care for low-income workers, job training for those who lose their jobs, veterans' health, Head Start and more. Despite modest increases in spending levels, President Bush is threatening to veto this important bill. While spending nearly one-half trillion dollars on the war in Iraq, Bush is unwilling to spend just 1.4 percent more for these vital services here in our country. Therefore, we need as many senators to vote for this spending bill as possible.

Go to the link below to send a message to your Senators. Tell them it's time to invest in America. Tell them to vote YES for the Labor-Health and Human Services-Education appropriations bill.
