Help Save RIF (Reading Is Fundamental)


Help Save RIF (Reading Is Fundamental)
President Bush’s proposed 2009 budget eliminates all the funding for Reading Is Fundamental’s book distribution program! Since 1966 this vital program has provided books to children of poverty. The Publisher's Weekly article notes that 4.6 million children will not receive 16 million books in 2009! The chasm between haves and have nothings grows wider and deeper.
