Reading Is Less Fundamental in Bush Budget
CEO of Reading Is Fundamental Carol Rasco issued a statement warning that “President Bush’s proposed budget calling for the elimination of Reading Is Fundamental’s (RIF) Inexpensive Book Distribution program would be devastating to the 4.6 million children and their families who receive free books and reading encouragement from RIF programs…. Unless Congress reinstates $25.5 million in funding for this program, RIF would not be able to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation’s youngest and most at-risk children.”

Joelle,
Thanks for noting this on your blog! We hope people will go to http://www.rif.org and send a letter of support to Congress to help get RIF’s funds reinstated.
Best,
Frank Walter, RIF
