What does rising unemployment mean for kids?

We're glad candidates for governor are talking about the recent increase in joblessness in New Jersey. We would like them to pay attention to what it means for the growing number of children with unemployed parents.

Please send a quick email to Chris Christie, Jon Corzine and Chris Daggett reminding them to address the effects of parental unemployment on children. Ask them,What About the Kids?

Research shows that elected officials pay more attention to emails and letters written by individual constituents.

So please put your concerns in your own words. Be yourself. Tell your story. Don't be afraid to write just a few sentences. Your email can be short and still have impact!
