BREAKING NEWS: PEACE CORPS EXPANSION ACT OF 2009 INTRODUCED WITH 40 CO-SPONSORS!!

Straight from my inbox -Dear Ardent Supporters of MorePeaceCorps,

California Congressman Sam Farr (Colombia 61-63) along with 40 co-sponsors has introduced HR 1066 in the 111th Congress calling for $450 million to the Peace Corps in 2010, $600 million in 2011, and $750 million in 2012. Forty members of Congress have co-sponsored this legislation as a result of your outreach and your advocacy! Now we must redouble our efforts to collect even more co-sponsors.

The text of the legislation can be found here:
