Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Mark Foley (R-Fort Pierce) was working on a project that we found to be quite ambitious. The plan he had in mind for Haiti was very large in scope and would make a difference in the lives of many young Haitians. He was pushing for a bill that would be in favor of recruiting professional Haitian-Americans or Professionals of Haitian descent living in the USA to go back to Haiti and provide training in their fields to the people of Haiti . They would receive a salary and could be asked to stay for up to three years.
Now, that Mr. Foley has resigned as a member of congress, we want to make sure the good idea of helping Haiti doesn\'t fall through the cracks. As long as the Bill is out there we can still get it to pass; we have to work harder to make sure it goes all the way to chain of commands.
Please, be advised that we are solely advocating for the approval of this Act.
This petiton will be sent to the House of Representatives. If this bill is executed, a whole new way of life could be laid out for our Nation. Please show that you support the Bill by adding your signature below.
The resignation of our original sponsor does not stop this work because the need for infrastructure in Haiti remains urgent. Email your representative right now to demand they pick up this bill and support the recruitment of professionals to rebuild the nation. Post this link to your Facebook page to ensure this plan stays on the congressional agenda.

This sudden surge of support proves that we will not let this legislation vanish now that the original sponsor has left office. Post this link on Facebook immediately and email your representative to demand they pick up this bill today.

3 years is a solid plan. Enough time to actually teach someone a trade instead of just dumping supplies and leaving.

My parents are from there and they would go back in a heartbeat if there was a real program like this. Do it!

We cannot let this die just because he resigned. The kids back home need this training so bad.

Haiti needs professional support more than just charity. Keep fighting for this bill.

This is such a great idea. Haiti needs people with real skills to help rebuild. Hope someone picks this up soon.
