A version of that bill is being discussed in the Senate as I type. *Cuts to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as the Economic Stimulus bill are being proposed by moderate Democrats and some Republicans. VR, Independent Living, and IDEA funding are among the items being proposed for cuts!!* IMMEDIATELY CALL 202-224-3121 and ask for your Senators' offices and leave the message below: "I urge you to keep funding for Vocational Rehabilitation, Independent Living and IDEA in the Economic Stimulus bill. People with disabilities deserve the opportunity to benefit from the economic stimulus package. With EVERY STATE facing looming budget deficits, the funding for these programs in the Economic Stimulus bill will offset any state budget cuts that would hurt people with disabilities and also ensure that people with disabilities are not left behind."
