Take Action! Tell the Senate to Restore Lifesaving Funding for the International Affairs Budget!

Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) will be offering an amendment this week to restore funding for the International Affairs Budget. As supporters of women's economic opportunity, we must do all we can to gain support for the Kerry-Lugar amendment so that this important support reaches the millions of women and families around the world who are living in extreme poverty. Please take action today by asking your Senators to co-sponsor the Kerry-Lugar Amendment and oppose any further cutting amendments.

Take Action: Call your Senators today and urge them to support the Kerry-Lugar Amendment to restore $4 billion to the International Affairs Budget and oppose any further cutting amendments!

Over a Million Dollars Worth of Medical Bills   :)
The people I met this morning have traveled to Washington to
tell Congress their stories, and are on the Hill speaking to
Congressional staff as I send this email.
[ http://ga1.org/ct/R7xuL661UzeA/ ]

But they cannot pass this legislation without your help.
>>Please take a few minutes to educate yourself by watching our
new short film, Hit and Run: Will Congress Protect Our Rights?
[ http://ga1.org/ct/Y1xuL661UzeN/ ]

>>Sign our petition urging Congress to take action.
[ http://ga1.org/ct/R1xuL661UzeL/ ]

>>Contact your member of Congress
[ http://ga1.org/ct/RpxuL661UzeM/ ]and tell him or her to pass
the Medical Device Safety Act before the summer recess.

And, most importantly, share this email with your friends and
family, and ask them to take action, as well.

With your help, we can give these brave people a fighting chance
to receive justice.

Thank you for your support,                Nan
