Tell Your Representative To Oppose Motion to Recommit; Support Head Start Reauthorization As Approved By Committee!
by Amanda Adams*, 4/27/2007
Next week, possibly Wednesday, the House will consider H.R.1429, to reauthorize for the first time in a decade, the childhood development program Head Start. However,
a "Motion to Recommit," is expected to be offered, sending the bill back to the committee and require the inclusion of the Charitable Choice religious discrimination provision, allowing providers to make hiring decisions based on religion. We strongly urge you to contact your representatives asking that they oppose the Motion to Recommit. Click here to go to the NAACP action alert to find out what you can do.
