Title:
|
Finding that the Bush Administration Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program reauthorization proposal as passed by the U.S. House of Representatives will both undo those successes that welfare reform has had, and fail to address the worsened problems of poverty and barriers to employment that those currently on TANF continue to face, and urging Congress, and in particular Pennsylvania's two United State Senators, Arlen Specter and Rick Santorum, to reject the Administration proposal, and to support alternatives that will realistically and fairly help families balance work and family to achieve self-sufficiency.
