TODAY - Letters to Senators Nelson and Johanns and
Congressman Fortenberry asking for their support of the TRADE (Trade Reform,
Accountability, Development and Employment) Act are on the Economic Justice
table in the fellowship hall. Please take the time to sign a letter.
(Information on the TRADE Act is also available if you would like to write
your own letter.) This act will set standards that help provide stable jobs,
environmental protections, public health, and poverty reduction in both the
U.S. and with our trading partners. Check our church website for more
information.
PLEASE let David Orr or Rhonda Brubacher know if you would
like to join a FMC group that will deliver the letters to their offices this
coming week.
