Regain funding for the JROTC STEM programs that were cancelled due to the sequester

I am an NJROTC cadet who was accepted to attend the Embry Riddle Aeronautical University STEM summer program in June. My sister was accepted to the San Diego State university STEM summer program in July. However, tithe government sequester caused the funding for these programs to be cut and the programs were cancelled. After my mom spent $400 on half of the supplies we would need. Over 200 cadets are extremely disappointed. Please support this petition to regain the funding for this amazing program that teaches leadership and other values. This program has the potential to benefit the entire nation.
