With historic support from both sides of the aisle, why not respond by placing CSBG and community action in general in historical context? Now could be the moment to show what who we are, where we come from, and why both side are (or really should be) supporting us as we move forward.Stangohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14728662755626765389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32957644.post-71019153051941926552012-01-26T15:43:34.486-05:002012-01-26T15:43:34.486-05:00I would point out that the support shown in &#39;96 speaks to the compatibility of our programs with a strong atmosphere of deficit reduction as there was in the late 90&#39;s. This, coupled with the self-sufficiency / savings vs. more costly alternatives aspect of our programs could be a message found palatable by members of both parties. At the same time avoiding alienating either group and positioning our programs as effective and relevant within a debt reductive environment. <br />Aaron - KansasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
