THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK!
KOCZERA AMENDMENT #300 HAS
79 SPONSORS!

-  You have all done a great job contacting your state representatives to co-sponsor Rep. Koczera's amendment #300 to increase funding for ABE line item #7035-0002 to $31.5 million for FY 2018.

-  We have 79 co-sponsors!

The House budget debate begins today, and we must keep urging our representatives to push Amendment #300.  There are more than 1,200 amendments, and we don't want ours to get lost.

If your state representative ison the list of co-sponsors, please call his/her office to:
  • say thank you;
  • urge him/her to push for a vote on the amendment;
  • urge him/her to push colleagues to vote yes.
