The Governor
and legislators say the state budget crisis is so bad that we have no choice
but to severely cut education and health and welfare services for kids.
They are
wrong!

Please e-mail your legislators.
Remind them that their obligation to all of California's
children does not stop when times get tough.
A budget is a reflection of our values. We value the future
of our children and the future of California. We understand cuts to education
programs will be enacted as part of a budget deficit solution. But the cuts
currently being considered are far too deep and will shortchange an entire
generation.

Please call or e-mail your state
Assembly member, state Senator and the Governor right away and deliver the
following messages:
-
Support
a balanced budget approach that includes some additional revenues to prevent even
deeper cuts to children's education programs and
services.
- Support full funding for Healthy Families, CalWORKs
and Cal Grants - essential programs that support the health and well-being of
children, students and families.
The Governor and all legislators need to continue to hear directly from
parents and PTAs about the devastating impact that cuts proposed in the state
budget will have on children. We know many of you have been contacting
legislators; it is vital to remind them that PTAs throughout the state and all
parents are watching their actions closely.
