[AAACE-NLA] Campaign Update: 29 States Active: 21 Silent

[Brandt, Rose]

In Pennsylvania, the Governor's office has included literacy among the issues it is addressing with our DC congressional delegation. Also, state legislators have heard enough about the issue that they are requesting information on the impact of the proposed federal cuts on PA's adult education services.

Subject: [AAACE-NLA] Campaign Update: 29 States Active: 21 Silent


AAACE-NLA Colleagues,

The Save Adult Literacy Education Campaign has picked up steam, with 
activity reported in nearly 60% of the states, and evidence of some 
activity in several other states.  Art Ellison has reported that we 
have already had some success, that our calls, faxes and letters have 
helped to prevent the WIA Plus amendment from getting into the WIA 
Reauthorization bill, HR 27. But, of course, this is only the 
beginning.

We look forward to hearing from the 21 states which have not reported 
yet.  If you are from a silent states, please find out what's 
happening, and post an update to the list -- or if you prefer, to me, 
to post to the list.
