This was distributed via Congress Plus at 10:05 a.m. today.
 
Last year, Education Secretary Arne Duncan testified before the House Budget Committee and expressed his certainty that the 187 Upward Bound programs funded
 by the College Cost Reduction and Access Act would be “saved.” (You can view
 the entire hearing here. Fastforward to 1:47:42 to see Secretary Duncan’s remarks about TRIO and Upward Bound.) As the Department of Education is putting its finishing
 touches on its Fiscal Year 2012 budget request, which will be released in mid-February, we need to continue pushing the Administration not only to remember its commitment to save these programs, but also to take a stand in support of all low-income, first-generation
 students in need of TRIO services. There are several ways you can outreach to the Administration:
 

Call the White House.
 You can call the White House at 202-456-1111
 between 9am – 5pm (Eastern), Monday – Friday. 
E-mail President Obama.
 You can e-mail the President using this weblink:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact.
E-mail Secretary Duncan.
 You can reach the Secretary at [log in to unmask]

 
In making these contacts, we have a simple, singular message:

 
$100 million increase for TRIO for FY 2012!
 
Please engage your alumni, students, parents, community leaders, friends, and colleagues in this effort. Every contact helps! Sample letters are available
on
 our website for your convenience.
 
Thank you for your continued support of TRIO!
 
Kimberly Jones
Assoc. Vice President for Public Policy
