President Bush's budget proposal puts quality healthcare, education, and security for working families on the chopping block.

Tell your Representatives and Senators to take care of working families now.

Expand Opportunities for Working Poor Families
Urge your Senators to expand opportunities for working poor families by voting against the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families reauthorization. This bill hurts working families and the states by limiting what qualifies as work, and it does nothing to help lift children and their families out of poverty.

Oppose TANF Waivers That Will Shortchange Working Families
Urge your Senators to vote against the "Super Waiver" provisions included in the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families reauthorization bill. The provisions could hurt the public services we count on by waiving personnel rules and career civil service.
