We, the voters, concerned families, and youth - the future leaders of Texas,stronglybelieve that the future of our great state depends on the investment we make today in education. We call on our elected officials in the House of Representatives to take the following urgent actions in support of Texas public education:
1. Support new revenue source dedicated to education spending.
2. Close business tax loopholes to finance education as promised in Spring 2006 Special Session.
3. Find permanent solution to education funding.
4. Use Economic Stabilization Fund to fully fund education at current biennium level.
We urge you to support the efforts Texas Senate has made to finance public education by actively sourcing new revenues. Education is the most important investment the great state of Texas will ever make, now and forever.
Sincerely,
The Voters, Concerned Families, and Youth of Texas

kids are falling behind and the schools are crumbling. figure it out already.
TEXAS NEEDS TO DO BETTER FOR OUR KIDS. stop cutting corners on the future.
education is not an expense it is an investment. stop treating it like a budget line item you can just slash.
my daughter has 30 kids in her classroom and no textbooks. this state has the money, just stop giving tax breaks to big corps and pay up.
fix the school funding now. sick of hearing about budget shortfalls while the state ignores the real problem.

The future of the Texas economy depends upon the children that will grow up to become its workers. Destroying public education does not improve choice. Some families will always only have access to the public option. Do not destroy public education. Help make public education a quality option for Texas families.
