Subject: Call Your Senators NOW to Save $200 Million For Libraries

 

IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED - CALL NOW TO SAVE $200 MILLION FOR Amendment to
cut libraries out of broadband package in Senate stimulus bill

<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/MUKQJTOBRX/NFIOJTOCQB/2885926381> 

Take Action!

Calls to ALL Senators are needed IMMEDIATELY to protect $200 million for
libraries, community computing centers and related institutions in the
original language of the Senate stimulus bill, H.R. 1, the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.   We have just been advised that
Senators Kent Conrad (ND-D) and Lindsey Graham (SC-R) are expected to
introduce Senate Amendment 501 which would strip funding for libraries
and broadband to put additional funding in FDIC.  If introduced, the
vote could take place this afternoon.
 
The message is:  keep the $200 million for libraries and broadband in
H.R. 1 - defeat amendment 501.  Libraries provide information on jobs,
employment skills, and all other types of job-seeking information.  More
people are using libraries during these difficult times and the demand
for broadband is greater than ever.  
 
ALA Office of Government Relations will keep you updated as the stimulus
debate continues on the Senate floor.  Please watch the District
Dispatch for updates.
