Ask Your Congressional Representatives to Fully Fund the GPO 
  
Librarians are on the front lines, helping the American people find the 
government information they need to find jobs, work effectively, and participate 
in our democracy. The programs of the Government Printing Office (GPO) are 
integral to keeping the American people informed.  Unfortunately, funding for 
the GPO is under attack.
 
The GPO is the only agency with the mission of ensuring that the American public 
has access to Congressional, Judicial and Executive branch information in all 
formats – physical and digital. An unintended consequence of severe cuts to 
GPO’s budget may be the demise of its access programs.
 
We believe a vote on the Legislative Branch budget that includes the GPO is 
imminent in the House and will soon follow in the Senate. Please contact your 
Congressional representatives and ask them to fund the GPO at the President’s 
Fiscal Year 2013 recommendation. For background information, talking points and 
contact information for your Congressional representatives please visit the 
Legislative Action Center.
