RE: Proposed World Service Corps Bill/Resolution

 

Dear Senator Specter:

 

As a respected senior member of the Appropriations Subcommittees on Foreign Operations and Defense, you have been particularly attentive to the reconstruction of Iraq, international terrorism, Mideast tensions, human rights, religious persecution, and how best to address these issues through our foreign aid budget. 

I hope upon reviewing the faxed WSC proposal you will see how this “innovative foreign assistance initiative”, which your Senate work champions, helps stem terrorism, improves prospects for Mideast and world peace, enhances human rights, and will dramatically reduce our military/security costs.  With the respect you carry in Congress, your herein requested co-sponsorship of this proposal would be particularly helpful and would further the goals your work has long pursued.

Your staff can link to updated World Service Corps information by clicking to the opening link at www.dwaynehunn.biz.

Similar requests have thus far been made to those CCed below.

I am sorry to hear of your Hodgkin health battle.  May your fortitude and science help you win the battle.  As one with a diabetic sister who has suffered all its serious effects, I laud your efforts to increase stem cell research funding.

I look forward to your reply.  Thanks for your consideration.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Dwayne Hunn
