Nancy Sledd There's a new National Coalition for Literacy handout available on the NCL web site. It summarizes the NCL's top three recommendations. It's a single page on NCL letterhead in Adobe Acrobat format. Feel free to make copies for your visits with Federal legislators and/or to include in correspondence with them. "Way to go!" to those of you who have made contact with your Senators and Congressperson already. If you haven't done so already, it's not too late - contact them this week. Congress needs to hear from lots of literacy supporters. On NPR yesterday, I heard there is speculation that President Bush may replace Education with the Economy as his #1 priority. This would make our job tougher. Translation: we need the voice of every literacy advocate to be heard! To view and print out the NCL handout, go to www.natcoalitionliteracy.org and click on "Policy and Legislation." Then click the link under Commitment 1 to the "Federal Literacy Appropriations" page.
