Bush Budget Ignores the Needs of Americans with Disabilities

This year's Republican budget makes serious cuts to programs that Americans with disabilities have come to count on. The 2007 Bush Administration budget proposal completely eliminates the vocational education program. This is a critical program that helps people with disabilities prepare for work, and eliminating it will deprive thousands of students with disabilities of vital training and work experience that lead to full time employment. Attempts have been made in Congress to reinstate this money, so it's imperative we speak out on this issue before it’s too late. A job is a significant part of most people's lives. Urge Republicans in Congress to restore funding for these programs that Americans with disabilities have relied on for years.

Dear Congressional Republicans,

This year's Republican budget makes serious cuts to programs that Americans with disabilities have come to count on. The 2007 budget completely eliminates the vocational education program that helps people with disabilities prepare for work. A job is a significant part of most people's lives. You must work to restore funding for these programs that Americans with disabilities rely on.

Sincerely,
