We'll tell your elected officials:
I am writing to urge the congressional "super committee" to protect programs that help children succeed. "Think of the debt we're leaving the next generation," deficit hawks will often remark. Yet sometimes the cuts they propose are some of our most important investments in the next generation. We need to make sure that when we balance the budget, we're not leaving behind a different kind of a debt: a human deficit. Joblessness remains high, and we should remember that jobs lost often mean health benefits and food security lost as well. Although the recession is technically over, the hardship continues for the more than 9 percent unemployed, a rate that is much higher in certain hard-hit parts of the country. It's crucial that Congress put kids first. Please protect the programs that protect American children.
