I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Letter to Earl Blumenauer

Chuck Currie has sent a letter to Earl Blumenauer.
[....]

Beginning Monday, November 7, the House of Representatives is expected to vote on provisions of a budget reconciliation bill that proposes cuts of $54 billion in vital social services for some of the most vulnerable people in America. Families lacking health insurance, abused and neglected children, single mothers trying to collect child support, working families relying on Food Stamps, people with severe disabilities and the poor all face severe cuts in needed programs, reports the United Church of Christ Justice and Witness Ministries.

[.....]

I know that the cuts under consideration will be devastating. Poverty has increased for the last four years in the United States and this legislation will worsen the situation.
Go read all of Chuck's letter and go to the link he supplies to write a letter to your own congressman.
