You may have heard the Senate Appropriations Committee voted tonight to pass Gov. Corbett's budget and added $500 million to it. But that didn't include any of the $300 million for cash assistance. The vote could come up as soon as tomorrow for the entire Senate. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Senate Democrats will make another effort to put $150 million back in for cash assistance. Please…

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( mrsstellakwale58@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Mrs Stella.
Hi,
I actually thought I was a member for a few years. I visited Harrisburg with Cynthia Jones and Pat DeBrady re LGBT issues once. Brad at UUCR mentioned the UUPLAN today in our Soc. Justice mtg. and I decided to log on.
Thanks for the welcome.

Hi, Virginia,
Thanks...Kent had suggested that I talk with you about my interests in economic justice, too. I will try to reach you around 9:30 tonight then? If that doesn't work let me know - you can reach me at 267-385-5049 or judymorgan711@yahoo.com. Best,
Judy
Hi Virginia,
I got your email about become the consulting outreach coordinator. Congratulations. I am thinking of applying for the position, but when looking at the four issues, it looks like there have been changes since I first signed onto the UUPLAN. I thought I remembered a peace pillar as one of the four issues. Was I mistaken or has there been a change? Are our four issues flexible or are they fixed for a period of time? Your email only listed three issues ( no peace or immigration reform).
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, Virginia,
I'm on the Unitarian Society of Germantown (USG) Task Force on Social Justice Re-visioning, and we are preparing for a congregational workshop on March 10 to plan for how to create a more vibrant social justice program. Would it be possible to talk with you next week and explore how UUPLAN plans could most beneficially link with our congregational efforts? Please let me know. I can be reached at judymorgan711@yahoo.com or 267-385-5049. Thanks very much!
