Take Action on the 2008 Offering of Letters
Take Action!
If your senator has not yet signed onto the Global Poverty Act, S. 2433 (find out by clicking here), ask him/her to become a cosponsor. If your senator is already a cosponsor, ask him/her to do everything possible to bring the bill to the floor so that it can be passed before the current Congress ends.
Key points to make:
- Please cosponsor the Global Poverty Act, which seeks to bring clarity, coordination, and accountability to our foreign assistance programs. It has already passed the House unanimously and has bipartisan support in the Senate.
- The act would require the president to develop and implement a coordinated strategy of U.S. aid, debt relief, and trade policies to meet the goal of cutting by half the number of people who live on less than $1 a day by 2015.
- Please do not allow poor and hungry people to suffer due to partisan politics during this election season.
Call the Capitol Switchboard: 202/224-3121 and asked to be transferred to your Senator's office.
