Joan Faulkner, our Regional Field Organizer down in Florida, just got off the phone with Senator Nelson’s office. He’s going to sign onto the U.S. Global Leadership Campaign’s “150 Letter!”

The goal of the campaign is to show bipartisan Congressional support for an increase of the International Affairs Budget by getting 150 representatives and senators to sign the letter. As of today, 157 have signed. Go to the U.S. Global Leadership Campaign’s website for more information and the current list of political leaders who are taking a lead on this fight.

UPDATE: A note from Joan.

“Thanks to the Florida ONE members who have taken the time to write letters, make phone calls and attend lobby visits to our Senators’ offices this year. It’s because of you that our voices are heard and action will be taken on these important issues. Both Senators Nelson and Martinez have signed onto this letter bringing both sides together. Congratulations Florida!” Joan
