Respond to CADCA’s Legislative Alert: Urge Congress to Restore Proposed Cut to DFC Program
In his FY 2011 Budget Request, the President recommended cutting funding for the Drug Free Communities (DFC) program by $9.5 million, to $85.5 million. We urgently need your help to ensure this proposed cut does not become a reality. Given Congress has the power to restore this cut, it is imperative that your members of Congress hear from you immediately.
