AMENDMENT WOULD SLASH RURAL DEVELOPMENT FUNDING

The National Rural Housing Coalition has organized a sign on letter opposing the Coburn Amendment, which may come up in the Senate next week and would cut USDA Rural Development funds for 2012 by $1 billion. This cut would amount to 40% of RD programs and would be across all the agency’s functions. The Coalition’s letter has more information and is at the following link — https://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5172/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=8587The sign on deadline is Friday, October 28.
