Help Pass President Obama's Budget

President Obama's Fiscal Year 2010 budget provides a visionary blueprint that turns away from the failed economic policies of the past and seeks to invest in our future by expanding opportunities for all. His budget commits major investments in health care reform, education, and clean energy, while restoring fairness to our tax system and reducing military expenditures over time in a responsible manner. As usual, the special interests in Washington are putting the squeeze on Congress to scale back a budget that will help to renew and rebuild our economy.

The Senate is considering President Obama’s budget proposal now. The only way to counter the same special interests that brought us to this brink is for Congress to hear from all of us that the President’s budget is OUR budget. MAKE A CALL TODAY!

Call toll free by dialing 1-866-544-7573 and ask to be connected to one of your Senators' offices. After you reach one of your state's two Senators, use the toll free number again to call the other one.

When you dial the toll free number, you will hear a brief pre-recorded message about the President’s budget, and then you will be connected to the Capitol Switchboard. Ask for your Senator by name, or, if you don’t know the names of the Senators, tell the switchboard operator in which state you are registered to vote and ask to be connected to one of your Senators.

Sample Script:

"Hi, my name’s ____________, and I’m a constituent of Senator __________. I understand that she/he is considering President Obama’s budget this week. I want to support the President’s budget and am opposed to the special interests lined up against it. Does the Senator support President Obama’s budget?"

When you have finished your call, please let us know what response you received - email us at info@wvwvaf.org. Thanks for helping to Rebuild and Renew our country!

Thanks for taking action!

CAP: Unmarried Women Hit Hard by Poverty
11 Sep 09 | 14:03

By Liz Weiss

New data released today by the Census Bureau shows a statistically significant increase in the national poverty rate in 2008. Most adults (18 and over) in poverty are women; 59 percent of adults in poverty are women; and 13 percent of all adult women are in poverty. Three-quarters of these women are women on their own—widowed, divorced, separated, or never married—despite being less than half (47 percent) of the population of adult women. These unmarried women have appreciably higher poverty rates than married women—20.8 percent versus 6.2 percent. Yet unmarried women live in a variety of situations—they may be living with partners, they may be mothers, they may be elderly—and each group has unique circumstances and needs. Indeed, poverty rates vary greatly for women by family status, age, and race.
