Dear USGLC Boards of Directors,

It's to believe that Rand Paul is already going after foreign aid, but it looks like he is to going to miss an opportunity to do so. Below please find an action alert that my colleague Tod Preston sent to our network yesterday. We will keep you posted.

Many thanks,
Beth Neary Fellman

Subject: Urgent Action Needed: Senate to Vote on Deep Cuts to International Affairs Budget

 [http://action.usglc.org/images/content/pagebuilder/11119.jpg]

Dear Colleague,

I hate to interrupt your holiday break, but as soon as tomorrow we could face a critical vote in the Senate on the International Affairs Budget.

During the Senate's consideration of the emergency supplemental appropriations bill for Hurricane Sandy relief, which is expected to take place as early as tomorrow, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) will be offering an amendment to slash funding for the International Affairs Budget.

We need you to immediately mobilize your networks to fight these cuts.

Senator Paul’s amendment would rescind $9 billion in funding from the State-Foreign Operations accounts – a cut of nearly one-third to many key development and security aid programs.  These cuts are deeply disproportionate and would place the costs of Hurricane Sandy on the backs of critical national security and global poverty reduction programs.

Please immediately mobilize your members to contact their Senators in opposition to these devastating cuts to International Affairs programs.

Thank you, as always, for your support. If you need more information, please contact me at [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]> or 703-519-4411 (cell).

Sincerely,

- Tod

Tod Preston
Director of Government Relations
