It's your government. It's your federal budget. Stand up and speak out about your concerns.

We know that the federal government looks intimidating from the outside. So many staffers, such imposing buildings, so many rules about committees, legislation, procedures.

All that's true. But it's also true that all this belongs to you. Yes, you. You elect the representatives sitting there, you pay for the buildings, you help set the priorities for what happens.

So you need to take the plunge and take action. Stand up, speak out, and convey how you feel about our state of the union.

WAND's big issue: The proposed FY07 federal budget. How will we cut the pie? More guns, less butter. And housing. And healthcare... * Take action here: Tell Congress to change federal budget priorities. * 2006 Congressional Schedule * WAND Legislative Priorities 2006
