Ask DeWine to support school anti-drug programs

Please urge Sen. DeWine to support increasing the funding for community drug prevention activities. His subcommittee is voting on the appropriation soon.

Ask him to support a funding level of $400 million for the State Grants portion of the Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities (SDFSC) program in the FY 2007 Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Appropriations bill.

This program is the only source of federal funding for school-based drug and alcohol abuse prevention. The program serves more than 37 million youth per year.

Pres. Bush has deleted this item from his FY 2007 budget request.
