But recent efforts by the Peace Corps community to advocate for increased Peace Corps funding had this result: Forty-one members of the House of Representatives signed onto a “Dear Colleague” letter expressing support for full funding of the President’s Peace Corps budget request. That is more than double the amount of signatures collected on similar House letters in 2005.
