Rural Americans who rely on Head Start worry about its future: 'Without free childcare I couldn't work'

15. I sure hope some of these people connect with each other and show up in force at their electeds' offices.

And perhaps pro-democracy groups could help them organize.

This is where the REAL push back happens. People in towns across the nation demanding that the people they sent to the U.S. House and U.S. Senate get off their asses and protect the programs that have become vital to their constituents

In re: Head Start, you can start with the fact that investment in early childhood programs doesn't just enable parents to make a living, these programs have been demonstrated to pay dividends that go far beyond the investment long into the future.

ALL people in the USA need a massive reminder that this is THEIR GOVERNMENT to shape. No one should take these arbitrary and unlawful cuts as "done deals."

It makes me want to SCREAM every time I hear cuts reported in a way that basically comes from a position "Nothing anyone can do about this shit."

Well, people can do something. And it is about time that reporters don't just interview people about how this or that unconstitutional rescission effects them. Simply asking "What are you going to do about it" could help get some brains in gear. Merely floating the idea that constituents have power could spark some action.
