- NWP Site Bulletin -

Dear Site Leaders,

Your follow-up calls and faxes are turning the tide. So far, 7 Republicans, 26 Democrats, and 1 Independent have signed the Senate "Dear Colleague" letter (see below). The deadline for signatures is Friday, May 6. Please take a few minutes to talk to your Senators’ offices. There is definitely momentum right now and it’s for NWP! In order to sign, Republicans should call Garrett Murch in Senator Snowe's office at 202-224-5344. Democrats call Barbara Pryor in Senator Rockefeller's office at 202-224-2578. By signing, senators indicate their support for a $30 million appropriation for NWP in fiscal year 2006.

Copies of the Senate Dear Colleague are available at http://www.writingproject.org/Resources/05letters.csp.
