The Governor has reversed the decision and restored full funding for our state after school programs. We secured this outcome by maintaining pressure throughout the budget cycle and I appreciate your commitment to this effort. I will monitor the allocation process to ensure these resources reach the intended programs.

Governor Dannel P. Malloy is ready to cut after-school spending here in the state of Connecticut. This would mean an end to dozens of excellent after school programs in our state. The impact on the children and families these programs serve would be devastating. 

By signing this petition you are sending a message to Governor Malloy asking him NOT TO CUT THIS FUNDING. It's quick and easy to sign. We would like to gather over 2,500 signatures so please sign now.

We are counting on YOU!

Please pass this email on to friends and concerned Connecticut citizens who support our after school programs; post the link to your Facebook account. Help us save these valuable programs.

I have spent the last few days compiling the list of programs at risk to present directly to the Governor's office. We are currently drafting a formal letter outlining the specific budget impacts to coordinate with an upcoming meeting request.

The growth of this petition has shifted our position when requesting meetings with the Governor's staff. I am currently finalizing a formal letter to his budget office that outlines the specific impact these cuts will have on our state programs.

Ridiculous. Malloy needs to find money elsewhere instead of hurting the kids.
