Title: Act now! Reminder to write/call to Congress about programs
Post by: AuntieEm2 on December 13, 2007, 04:22:53 PM

This is a reminder that Congressman George Miller is expected to hold another hearing in January about widespread reports of abuse and death in programs for troubled teens. Research is being gathered by the Government Accountability Office.

Programs and their supporters are actively organizing parents to write to Congress. Do not let them speak for you!

Please send your letters or make your phone calls now to Rep. Miller and Gregory Kutz of the GAO.
