Now is the Time to be an Advocate! Contact Your US Senator in Support of Javits Funding!

Thanks to the efforts of advocates across the country, the House Appropriations Committee included $7.46 million for the Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act in its fiscal year 2010 bill, the same amount the program received in 2009.

But our work has not ended. We still need to secure funding for the program from the Senate!  We need your help TODAY!

If you are in Kentucky, contact Senator Mitch McConnell’s office and tell him how important it is that he support funding the Javits Act at least at the level of $7.46 million.  Click here for Senator McConnell’s email.

If you are outside Kentucky, contact your senator or a member of the Senate Appropriations Committe and tell them that by supporting the Javits Act they are supporting gifted children.  And when gifted children meet their potential the future becomes brighter and better for us all.  Click here for a list of the members of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Speak out!  Support of gifted education!
