Continuing the saturation…fund peace corps
Ok, now it’s semi-official with a group and cause on Facebook and all. You all get to send me fewer packages if they let me buy cheese here 
Here’s the deal:
Fund Peace Corps
What: A congressional letter writing campaign for individuals who care about Peace Corps to highlight the impact of the current budget crisis on volunteers’ abilities to serve the goals of the organization.
When: December 1, 2008 – December 15, 2008
Who: Current PCVs, RPCVs, and friends/family of the Peace Corps
How: Go to http://www.ploofle.com/petition/ and use the “contact my representative” link. Add in a personal story to illustrate how this shortfall is affecting you and send your message. Then pass the link and your story on to your friends, family, Facebook/MySpace, and/or blog. Submit e-mails between December 1 – December 15!
Why: To help unite the voice of the current PCV community and inform decision makers in Congress of the significant impact current budget conditions are having on Peace Corps’ ability to fulfill its mission in aiding underserved communities around the world.
Carry on, then.
