I su...My email (tweaked with info. provided above). I submitted under "Unemployment" fyi:<br /><br />Good afternoon Senator Kirk,<br /><br />I am writing to you regarding the proposed budget cuts to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) as proposed in the Labor-HHS-Education spending bill. <br /><br />CNCS includes programs such as AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and VISTA which service our public schools through various tutoring and mentoring programs (City year, Teach for America, Chicago HOPES for Kids, etc.), provide job training to returning veterans and their families (American Legion Auxilliary Call to Service Corps), building homes for low income residents (Illinois Habitat for Humanity, Housing Forward, Housing Action Illinois), emergency relief (Illinois Emergency Assistance/Interim Housing Program, American Red Cross Safe Families Program).<br /><br />These national service programs deliver a dual benefit, offering a ladder of opportunity to those who serve; providing members the ability to acquire workplace skills and post-service scholarships that are geared toward higher education; encouraging a community of service and professional success. <br /><br />The budget cuts proposed in Labor-HHS-<br />Education would have a seriously negative impact as it would reduce the budget for these prograns by 20%!! This is a loss that the state of Illinois cannot afford. <br /><br />As a resident of Illinois, for the past 10 years, I have been actively involved in trying to improve the community for which I live (Chicago). AmeriCorps has been a HUGE support in identifying volunteers, providing professional development, organizing service and community events, and providing an avenue for young adults to give back to their communities while also earning an Education Award to apply towards a degree that they may otherwise have NOT been able to afford.<br /><br />CNCS programs play a deep and meaningful role in Illinois by providing employment, human service which are otherwise unmet, and support for higher education. Cutting them would take key services away from those in need within our community and increase unemployment among the 18-26yr (AmeriCorps) and 50+ sectors (Senior Corps). <br /><br />I ask that you use your position on the Appropriations Committee to ensure continued funding for CNCS in fiscal year 2016. Illinois is counting on you.<br /><br />Sincerely, <br />Bevin CallanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04639032514173816209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608844503446190511.post-25719550500088607862015-02-17T05:50:56.279-08:002015-02-17T05:50:56.279-08:00This article is very informative and cool.
