Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Support the governor's budget request for basic education and early learning programs

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am your constituent and it is very important to me that you pass a budget that funds my public schools and early learning programs to assure kids in my community benefit.

Pennsylvania needs a budget that puts the needs of children first. To accomplish this please support a budget that includes the governor's budget request for child care, Pre-K Counts, Head Start, and basic education funding.

Schools need resources and our youngest learners need early learning opportunities that will challenge and stimulate their development. I do not support cuts to these programs.

Pennslyvania has made monumental progress in recent years by investing in our greatest resource - our children. They won't get a do-over if we fail to support them in this year's budget. Don't turn back the clock.

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:

Background Information

  • House Democrats and many House Republicans came together to stop draconian cuts in ECE and school funding yesterday.
  • We need to convince your Senator to join this bi-partisan effort to save our public schools and early learning programs.
  • We need you to reach out to your senator again to join this effort.

If we don't get this done - cuts will happen.

Act today!
