Tell Congress to Fully Fund Special Education
For too long, Congress has failed to live up to its commitment to fund 40 percent of the cost of educating students with disabilities. In fact, the federal government currently funds only 17.2 percent of special education costs, forcing many schools to cut other programs in order to provide required special education services. Schools and the students they serve cannot afford to wait any longer for the relief they so desperately need.
Bipartisan legislation (H.R.82/S. 1159) has been introduced in both the House and Senate to put special education on the path to full funding by the year 2015. Urge Members of Congress to add their names as cosponsors on this important legislation.

Urge your Representative and Senators to cosponsor H.R. 821 and S. 1159.
Bipartisan Anti-Discrimination Bill Introduced in the House
Representatives Barney Frank (D-MA), Deborah Pryce (R-OH), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Christopher Shays (R-CT) have reintroduced the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA — H.R. 2015. This important legislation would prohibit employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. Every year, qualified hard-working Americans are denied job opportunities while countless others live in fear of losing their jobs. ENDA will help ensure that individuals are judged in the workplace by their ability to perform the required job rather than by prejudice and discrimination.

Urge your Representative to cosponsor H.R. 2015.

New Horizons: Exploring the Solar System's Frontier
Over a year into its journey, the fastest spacecraft ever launched is on a trek to a place where no spacecraft has traveled before. New Horizons will reach distant Pluto in 2015. The first mission to Pluto will seek answers to longstanding questions about Pluto's surface, atmosphere, interior, and moons; a possible extended mission will explore an icy body of the Kuiper Belt. The science behind New Horizons, the development of the complex spacecraft and its instrument payload, and the mission's current status will be discussed by S. Alan Stern on June 14, 2007.
