Kerry and Kennedy Urge President Bush to Fully Fund LIHEAP
October 18th, 2005

Today, Senators John Kerry and Edward M. Kennedy sent the following letter to President Bush urging him to fully fund LIHEAP to help families who will struggle with rising home heating costs this winter. Kerry will join with his colleagues, Senators Reed, Collins, Kennedy and others, in offering the amendment to fully fund LIHEAP later this week.

“How long is it going to take for this Administration to realize that not fully funding LIHEAP will mean millions of families and seniors will be unable to stay warm this winter?,” Senator Kerry asked. “I am happy that Senator Kennedy and I could send this letter to the President today, and I hope he hears our concerns before it’s too late. With home heating costs going through the roof, pretty soon families across the country will be forced to make a choice between heating their homes and putting food on the table. Fully funding LIHEAP will help the families who need it most - it’s time we get this done.”

I hope that it's broadcast across the country that * is willing to let the needy and cold go without assistance.

He'd damn well better have someone in his ear, firmly stating that he's got to sign this!

rename the program to LIHOP -- * will beg for it to be passed.
