Your voice is needed now to support a budget with the right priorities for all Americans. The ECAP coalition (read this Watcher article for more on ECAP) is mobilizing to promote a FY08 budget resolution that doesn't allow tax cuts for the wealthy and that makes enough room to fund programs for children, workers, education, and nutrition and housing issues. Let your representative know what you think about these programs and policies. They need to hear that their constituents will support them if they make the right decisions on the budget. Dial (toll-free) 1-800-459-1887 to reach your representative. ECAP is trying to focus its support for certain programs on different days. The schedule is as follows (click on the links for more information on the programs at issue):

• Thursday, March 15 — Children and Youth Issues
• Friday, March 16 -- Worker's Issues
• Monday, March 19 — Education Issues
• Tuesday, March 20 — Nutrition and Housing Issues
