I am fortunate to work for an organization with a mission dedicated to positively impacting the citizens of our Commonwealth.  Each day items on my "to do" list are focused on making a difference for and improving the lives of children and families across the state.  I realize that not everyone gets those same opportunities every day. 

However, whatever your day to day work responsibilities are, there is something right around the corner that will give you the an opportunity to affect not only your own circumstance but the lives of children and families across the state as well. 

The Primary election is May 18, 2010.  You can VOTE and have that vote make our children a priority!

Why does your vote matter?  In Pennsylvania, those of us working day and night to give children the best possible start in school and life should know that it matters a lot.  We have moved from a state that did not have early learning as a priority - to a state that others look to as a model. But that can change in an instant....in an election. 

You can learn for yourself what position our gubernatorial candidates are taking and their level of support for quality early learning through the two links directly below.  Check out their websites and the websites of everyone running for public office in your local community. 

Each one of us has the opportunity to elect candidates that make children a priority.  Make the biggest difference you can this year and give children a voice through your vote on May 18.
