CEOs for Americorps
I'm one of about 200 peoplemostly
corporate executiveswho signed an open letter to President Bush that's printed
as a full-page ad in today's New York Times. It reads, in part: "AmeriCorps
programs are closing. Young people who want to serve their country are being turned
away. Communities, schools and children are losing their AmeriCorps mentors, tutors,
teachers and builders . . . Please save these essential AmeriCorps programs that
have done so much good for our communities." (I can't find a link to the
Times ad, but the Washington Post has a
story about it.)
