Have you called your House representative yet? Ask him/her to co-sponsor H.R. 2139, the “Initiating the Foreign Assistance Reform Act of 2009.” This bipartisan bill to create a national strategy for global development is a good first step in making our nation’s foreign assistance more effective, efficient, and transparent.

Background:
At the end of the week of Bread for the World’s Lobby Day, 11 additional co-sponsors were added to H.R. 2139. In addition, staff from 25 congressional offices called Rep. Berman’s office on Lobby Day asking for more information on the bill.

As of July 17, we have a total of 77 cosponsors. But we need at least 100 cosponsors by Friday, Aug. 7. At least 100 cosponsors will constitute the tipping point to move the bill forward.
