I got an email today from the coordinator of Push for Peace Corps, an organization lobbying for an increase in Peace Corps funding to put more volunteers on the ground in more countries. While the House of Representatives passes a budget with a substantial increase in Peace Corps funding, the latest proposed budget from the White House has barely enough of an increase to offset inflation. This is an issue close to my heart as a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV) that served in Morocco from 2004-2006. You can find the series of diaries I did on Morocco here: http://www.dailykos.com/....
