<span style="font-size:12px;">Dear Darian,</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">District Days, a national mobilization effort, was a tremendous success for national service</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">.</span> We've been crunching the numbers and, thanks to national service supporters across the country, we hit our goal of talking with members of Congress in all 50 states about the impact of national service on their local districts and states.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:12px;">Inspired by talking with his constituents, Massachusetts <a href="http://www.servicenation.org/page/m/41462762/102e0b5a/77d853a0/46e37041/67624927/VEsF/" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MxTeI650Ppo">Congressman Joe Kennedy took to the House floor to talk about the damaging effects upcoming budget cuts will have on national service</a>. He specifically mentioned Jumpstart, an AmeriCorps program that serves preschool children in low-income areas.</span></p>

<p>
<span style="font-size:12px;">Congressman Kennedy was not the only member of Congress inspired to take action. In Washington State, <a href="http://www.servicenation.org/page/m/41462762/102e0b5a/77d853a0/46e37042/67624927/VEsC/" title="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151451106507192&set=a.10151439154792192.506097.9575062191&type=3&l=950d692333&theater">Congressman Dave Reichert joined the National Service Caucus after talking with his constituents</a>. And when a member of Congress joins a caucus, it's a statement about their priorities.</span></p>

This is a critical request we need to make of our champions in Congress.</span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size:12px;">All of this impact wasn't led by high paid lobbyists or political experts in Washington, DC. <strong>It was led by passionate people like you who are willing to speak out locally.</strong></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size:12px;">Thank you for participating in visits, dropping off materials, sending emails, or tweeting your members of Congress. As you can see, it's working in a big way. Stay tuned for ways you can continue to make a difference locally with your members of Congress.</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size:12px;">Onward,</span></p>
