I ask my colleagues to listen to the plea of these faithbased groups. DEAR REPRESENTATIVE: The Jewish community has long demonstrated a commitment to economic and social justice. We have been vigorous in advocating policies and programs to fight poverty and to help address the needs of disenfranchised vulnerable populations. including the elderly. working poor. disabled. youth. and refugees. The budget process is one of the most important actions taken by our government each year and Is an integral part of allocating funds for important human needs programs. While we recognize that deficit reduction is critical to the economic stability of our country. we believe it is essential that it be done in a fair and balanced manner.
