Dear Mr. President,

Community Action Works for ME!

Keep Community Action Programs working! If Community Action Programs disappear, workforce training, education, fuel assistance, Head Start and other services will be in jeopardy. Then families will have no place to turn for help in securing economic independence.

This year, Community Action has:

- Served 20.7 million people nationwide

- Enabled employment for 3.8 million people

- Improved child and family development for 3.6 million people through programs such as Head Start

- Helped 15.7 million people obtain emergency assistance through programs such as food pantries and fuel assistance

- Increased assets and financial literacy for 1.1 million people through programs such as EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit) and IDA (Individual Development Accounts)

- Worked for me!

Keep it going in my community!

    • I am a single working parent and ABCD has helped a whole lot. I think it would be a mistake for you to do this, I count on the fuel assistance money and so do a lot of other families in Boston.

    • I VOTED FOR YOU! During your campaign , the majority of your speeches entailed several examples of the working poor AMERICAN citizen! This proposal is a contradiction of your purpose as becoming The President of United States.

    • People will suffer in New England's freezing winters if fuel assistance is cut, we burn through hundreds of millions dropping bombs in another country, but can't spare a few to help American citizens in need!! What are the priorities of this country!

    • I am sad at the fact that the government is treating it citizens with cutting the life support to its very existence. We need someone to help us rather than the rest of the world. We the americans are being neglected and punished we need to stand together in these hard times especially. The ABCD program has helped me in the past and I believe it can continue to help those in need if its available dont let the next family in hardship down.
