On Monday, February 5, President Bush submitted his budget request for fiscal year 2008 to Congress. Early reports indicate that the budget request may include cuts of over $600 million for international humanitarian programs supporting child health and survival and critical development assistance.

We need greater investments in development, not budget cuts for these programs that contribute toward US and global security.

Development organizations like CARE are asking for our support in saving funding for crucial development programs that bring security to families around the world. Please join me in helping CARE's campaign to save development funds in the '08 budget.
