Termination of the Family Reunion Program

If anyone has been following Bill 3747-2011 in the NY State government, you may know that on June 16th the Senate passed the bill to recommend that the Commissioner of NY DOC permanently terminates the FRP in NY State. This is really unfortunate because although a few of us tried to bring this to light and spread the word for others to write letters to their senators and fight to keep this program, it seems that it fell on deaf ears thinking "that would never happen." Well, now the fact of it becoming a reality is closer than ever.

I am not exactly sure what can be done at this point because it has already caught on like wildfire in the senate, but I would encourage all of you to please speak out on this at your visits and to your loved ones to write the Commissioner's office, your senator, or whoever you think can assist im amplifying your voice to not terminate the program.
