Action Alert: Your Help is Urgently Needed to Preserve Abstinence Education!

President Obama recently requested that Congress zero out all funds for abstinence-centered education in the 2010 budget and replace them with contraceptive-centered programs instead.

Congress is not obligated to implement the President's recommendation, so we have an opportunity to preserve abstinence education if you act now.

It is essential that policy makers hear from you right away. Otherwise, funding could end very soon.
