Sample Letter for Campaign

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

Thank you for prioritizing young children and families during your FY10 state budget deliberations.

Now more than ever, Massachusetts must invest its resources in policies that produce a strong return on taxpayers' investment.

Research demonstrates that high-quality early education is a sound economic development strategy that invests in human capital, improves health and well-being and increases academic achievement. The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis estimates that high-quality early education provides a 16% return on every dollar invested.

Thank you for preserving the progress Massachusetts has made on behalf of young children and families.

Sincerely,
