A Special Delivery
Share
Last week Betsy Skipp, Laurie Campbell, Sara Paterni and I went to the Miami office of Rep. Ros-Lehtinen to hand deliver more than 100 constituent letters which were written at the recent Florida ONE Membership Conference.
Each letter asked Rep. Ros-Lehtinen to support $51.85 billion for the Foreign Operations budget, which funds critical life-saving and development programs like PEPFAR and the Millennium Challenge Corporation.
While there we also thanked the office staff for Rep. Ros-Lehtinen’s recorded greeting, which was played at the Florida Membership Conference. Rep. Ros-Lehtinen’s message was inspiring and encouraged us all to continue our work on the ground to increase awareness about global poverty.
