Global group call May 21

There were four of us on the call.

Allison read Leslee's oped word for word. She was very proud of the excellent job Leslee has done, as were others on the call.

Allison Gallaher, our regional coordinator emailed information about the Supplemental Spending Bill:
Last week, the House passed an emergency defense supplemental that includes $1.86 billion in emergency food aid. Only a small portion of this assistance was provided in the form of flexible cash assistance. The bill also includes a requirement for withdrawal deadlines from Iraq. The House defeated funding for the war. The bill goes to the Senate on Thursday.
