URGENT!!!!

Below is a message from Celane McWhorter of National APSE.  I will 
write on behalf of Vermont APSE but that is not enough.  Read the 
attachment and follow Celane's request.  Please act quickly on this.


AN URGENT MESSAGE TO ALL APSE MEMBERS !!! President Bush sent his 
budget requests to Congress yesterday for fiscal year 2007. He once 
again has asked Congress to eliminate funding for the SE State Grant 
Program, as well as the Projects with Industry, Recreation, and 
Migrant and Seasonal Workers programs authorized in the 
Rehabilitation Act. Please read the attached action alert and begin 
to contact your federal lawmakers NOW! We lost 20% of our funding in 
for this year. The battles for FY 2007 funding are going to be even 
tougher. PLEASE START CONTACTING YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES 
NOW AND FOLLOW UP OFTEN. WATCH FOR APSE CALLS FOR ACTION THROUGHOUT 
THE YEAR AND FOR UPDATES ON THE APSE WEBPAGE (www.apse.org). Thanks 
for all you do to advance supported employment in your communities.
