January 10, 2011 Dear TRIO Colleagues: At the end of last year, we launched a campaign targeting President Obama and demanding that he request a $100 million increase for TRIO in FY 2012. As the Administration is continuing to finalize its FY 2012 budget request, it is critical that we keep pressure on the White House. Therefore, we urge you, your staff, students, parents, alumni, and other TRIO supporters to call AND e-mail the White House with this simple message: President Obama, you must propose an increase of $100 million for TRIO for FY 2012! The White House receives several thousand messages each day – our goal is to have 100,000 communications on behalf of TRIO! To participate, simply call the White House at 202-456-1111 and then e-mail the President using this weblink: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact . Please remember to use your personal email addresses and phones for these exchanges. The final step is to recruit ten other people to email and phone the exact same message. This will only take a few moments of your time but your outreach could affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of TRIO students. For any additional questions regarding this communication, please contact Kimberly Jones with COE at [log in to unmask] . Please do not "reply" to this email; it will not be read by anyone at the Council. Rather, send responses directly to [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] . Thank you.
