Sequestration in the News

The deadline for striking a deal to prevent sequestration from taking place is now less than a week away. While AFA is been working to spread the word and convince key players of the devastating effects it could have for rmonths, we've been seeing many articles and reports emerge on the issue.

This weekend, the White House released State-by-State reports on the impacts of the sequester: http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2013/02/24/white-house-releases-new-state-by-state-reports-on-the-impacts-of-the-sequester/

Also, AFA members across the country are spreading the word in their communities via opinion editorials to their community papers. Check out a few of them here:
