3 deanalewisCAUSinstead of hiding behind nclb, congress should step up and fund programs that are proven to work for students. taking away funding for trio programs is unethical and wrong.

5 DanielCastillloCAUSPlease do not cut Upward Bound. I see the magic that this program does for low-income students. Many times these programs are the only opportunity this kids/veterans have for a shot at higher education. If we want to save America we must start with educating our young not just our rich young.

14 LuisMorenoCAUSIt is a shame to de-fund successful programs for a "no-child-left-behind" program(s) that has not proven any worth what-so-ever.

16 MarsailFordCAUSPlease SAVE these programs. Allowing people the opportunity of higher education costs us less than the cost of welware and prisons.

20 DaveFergusonCAUSTRIO programs, especially Talent Search and Upward Bound, are good investments in America. Don't cut what is working.
21 MichaelLopezCAUS
22 FranciscoBanuelosCAUSThese programs have assisted thousands of socially disadvantaged students to achieve educational equity. It is a sad moment in time when a proposed budget threatens to end such programs that have a history of providing opportunities to the low-income population.
23 ScottThayerCAUSTRIO programs have encouraged histrically disadvantaged students to pursue higher education as a means of a better life. Through education low-income, first-generation studennts can achieve success.

25 NormaRomeroCAUSI have worked with TRIO programs for over twenty years and know... THAT THEY WORK!
26 AmaroneThachAZUSUpward Bound is an amazing program that works. There are many students in colleges across the nation with the program. I am an alumni of Upward Bound and I'm excelling at Arizona State University. I like that UB is on campus and it is a great resource for me. I see so much potential in the student who are with Upward Bound right now. This is great program.
27 MarshaJaegerCAUS
28 Daisy TalaveraAZUSIt would be an unfortunate mistake to not support the TRiO programs. They are needed in the community.
29 RobertoHernimanCAUSIf Bush and Congress do not fund these programs, then a child will get left behind!
30 JaquelineMenaAZUSWhy take money from kids like me who are willing to learn, and give money to kids who don't really want to learn? Don't crush my future, please.
31 shyeshiamataAZUS Many students across the nation are connected to Trio in on way or another. Many college student were inspired to enter and complete college because of Trio and wish the program will be able to do the same for future generations.
32 ArmandoBandaAZUSThe Trio programs really help out students in need. Had it not been for Trio, I would not have made it to college.
33 HectorLujanAZUS
34 SueleenAbrahamHIFMI strongly believed that if the congress will do all their best in giving all the TRIO Programs such as (UB, Gear-up, VUB, MSUB,TSP, and others) in the Fiscal Year 2006, then all the programs will be giving all their best in accomplish the goals they were looking forward to accomlish...
35 JacquelineHernandezAZUS
36 NeslyAlvarezAZUSall these programs helped me and my future
37 FernandoMandujanoAZUSThe Upward Bound program gave me an opportunity that I might have never had, the opportunity to go to college. I have to mention that this program gave me the guidance and tools needed that no family member could have provided.
38 Cristina AnicetoAZUSUpward Bound has been part of my family, and I can not describe in words what Upward Bound Means to me, however i have one thing to say and that is that thanks to Upward Bound i learned to dream and now i am sure that my dream is going to cometrue. I know i am going to be a doctor
39 RicardoHernandezAZUS
40 MarianaGarciaCAUSI am an alumn and have benefited a great deal. Most of my class have become successful citizens, they areeven working for government agencies. Support TRiO. Its not just a programs its a family!
41 Pedro AnicetoAZUSI believe that Upward Bound is an excellent program and they should not cut the funds because it has helped me acamdemically. If Bush says not child left behind he is just a hypocrit because by cuting the funds he is leaving many children behind
42 EthelynLaraAZUS
43 Tony ThomasARUSCongress should NOT follow the recommendation of the president in regards to TRIO Programs.

47 ChristopherSitesWVUSAs a previous Upward Bound participant and staff member, I can vouch that Upward Bound has a substantial impact on the lives of atrisk students. This program supports students through high school graduation as well as prepares and encourcages postsecondary education.
