Middle-Class Families And Businesses In Colorado Would Be Severely Impacted By Bush Administration's 2007 Budget

There is a consistent pattern by the Bush Administration of weakening programs that middle-class citizens depend on for economic prosperity, affordable health care and safer communities.

-Thousands of Denver area students would be unable to obtain federal student aid to pay for college or would not receive enough to meet rising tuition costs.

-Under the Bush Administration's budget, Denver Children's Hospital could lose $7 million, resulting in 84 fewer medical residents trained.

-More than 589,000 informal caregivers will not receive assistance.

-Under the Bush Administrations budget, a resource that helps Colorado police officers combat meth would be eliminated.

And we're asking you to participate, stay informed, talk to your friends and neighbors, contact your elected representatives, and let us know how you prefer that we stay in touch with you by visiting our website at www.communities-united.org
