Terry and others interested in adult education advocacy issues:

Check out the NLA listserv:

"The main purposes of the NLA electronic list are to provide subscribers
with information about national issues which affect adult
literacy/basic/secondary education and English for Speakers of Other
Languages legislation, policy, and funding.  It should help NLA e-list
members inform policy makers about courses of action that will benefit
adult learners enrolled in literacy, biliteracy, ESOL, ABE, GED, EDP/ADP
and other kinds of adult literacy and Learning programs."

You can read the archived messages at:
http://lists.literacytent.org/pipermail/nla/

and you will find information about how to subscribe at:
http://www.alri.org/literacylist.html 

I find it to be a great resource..

Subject: [NIFL-ESL:8701] Re: Budget priorities

I am not up to date on the Bill that Tom Smith mentions but  here in
Michigan I've been told that Adult Ed ESL teachers, trainers,
coordinators
were happy when ESL was removed from Adult Ed as a whole because in the
past
it was common for the coffers of ESL programs to be "robbed" for other
adult
ed programs. 
...
I'm not trying to discourage advocacy, but for
those of you new to the trenches this battle for funding for adult ed
ESL
has been going on for decades. What would be interesting would be to
hear
from advocates who could share with us what has worked for them to get
funding.
