Urgent Call To Action from First Book's Kyle Zimmer - SAVE RIF!

Thank you for helping build support for RIF's Dear Colleague letter among members of the House of Representatives. Because of the thousands of people from across the country who wrote about the importance of reinstating RIF's funding, more than 60 members signed the letter, with more coming. But we still need your help! A separate Dear Colleague letter has begun circulating in the Senate. We have limited time to build support and let Congress know that without federal funding, more than 4.4 million children and families will not receive free books or reading encouragement from RIF programs. Remember, your voice is the most important resource we have to make sure Congress reinstates RIF's funding. Please send a message to your Senator today. Just enter your zip code to directly send a template statement. It only takes a couple minutes - and it will mean the world to the children we all care so much about. Please forward this message to your friends and colleagues and encourage them to send a message as well. Post this information on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, or any other social networks you use. Remember, your voice is the most important resource we have to make sure Congress reinstates RIF. Thank you for helping our friends at RIF! Sincerely, Kyle Zimmer President and CEO
