Rebuild and Renew America Now

Yesterday, People For the American Way joined a growing coalition of organizations in support of President Obama's budget priorities.

You can read the statement of support we joined here. The Rebuild and Renew America Now campaign has a lot of work ahead of it. I hope we all do our part to realize this budget's vision of an America that has turned its back on the "harsh trend of rising poverty, unemployment, hunger and homelessness."
