Additional Talking
Points:
- As a
constituent, I
am calling to
ask you to
support no less than the Senate’s FY 12 allocation for the International
Affairs Budget.
- America's fiscal challenges require
belt-tightening and all programs must pay their fair share, but I am concerned
about the disproportionate cuts being made to the International Affairs Budget.
- The International Affairs Budget keeps
America safe and creates jobs here at home.
At 1% of the budget – that’s a pretty good investment.
- Thank
you for your time. Once again, I am calling to ask you to support no less than the Senate’s FY
12 allocation for the International Affairs Budget.
