RIF (Reading is Fundamental) is in danger of losing federal funding

Bush Budget Would Eliminate RIF

Founded in 1966, RIF:
has been funded by Congress and six Administrations without interruption since 1975. It is the oldest and largest children’s and family nonprofit literacy organisation in the U.S.

Not the greatest thing for the administration of a husband of a librarian to be doing, hmm? I love the last thing on the above news snippet that Birdie wrote:
WWLauraD?

Save RIF's funding by contacting your representatives in the Senate and House. I sent a message to: Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY), Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and Representative Ben Chandler (D-KY 6th).
