1. ICAN is asking for people to call Grassley

Senators are considering important amendments to the budget resolution, such
as the Specter-Harkin Amendment that adds $7 billion to restore funding for
education, nutrition and vital social services programs (like Head Start,
child care, Meals on Wheels and others).

Please Call Today!
Use this toll-free number to be connected:
800-459-1887

(Thanks again to the American Friends Service Committee for providing the
number and to several generous organizations who have shared the cost.)

Here's what to say when you get through to your Senator's staff:

1. "Please tell Senator Grassley to support the Specter-Harkin Amendment."

2. "Please tell Senator Grassley to oppose any budget resolution that will
force harmful cuts in programs that serve needy people and to oppose tax
breaks that take funds away from needed services and deepen the deficit."

I called. I know Grassley don't care 'bout no stinkin' po' folk, but I called because I like to stick a small needle in that gasbag
