Elimination of federal funding of legal services will deny them legal assistance on obtaining financial support from an absent parent. a decent home to live in. adequate nutrition and health care. relief from a violent living situation. access to education and vocational skills. The working poor represent 40 percent of the 23 million people over eighteen living in poverty in the United States. Access to legal services can preserve employment that makes the difference between remaining productive and independent or joining the ranks of the dependent poor. We need to restore. the funding of the Legal Services Corporation for our poor. our elderly. women who are victims of domestic violence. and migrant workers. Please support the MollohanFox amendment.
