    By now, you've probably heard a lot about President Bush's 2006 budget. It cuts funding for some of the most vital social programs we have, like Head Start, low-income housing assistance and special education.

    Budget decisions show what we value as a nation—and what we're willing to spend our money on. But this budget is not compassionate. That's why March 8 has been designated National Call-In Day for the budget.

    A coalition of groups, including True Majority, The Children's Defense Fund and the National Coalition on Human Needs, is sponsoring call-in efforts to senatorial offices. To participate, just call (202) 224-3132 and tell the operator what state you live in. Then, tell the receptionist that you want your senator to support programs that help those in need and provide a social safety net. For talking points, or to send an e-message to your senator instead, click: Here

    Since you know so much about it, you should be able to post in here what was spent on such programs (by program) in the '05 budget, and how much is slated for the '06 budget.

    Or are details a little too much to expect from you?
