Get school back to the way they used to be
Dear Parents Concerned For Their Children's Future , While our schools and public services are facing everyday budget cuts and austerity measures, the government pays billions of our tax money to other countries in foreign and military aid; and we are not talking here about humanitarian aid. Recent events around the world have shown that these funds are mainly used to occupy other peoples/countries land, continue to build settlements and prisons, support flagrant abuses of human rights, and/or oppress the citizens of many of the country receiving the aid. However, regardless of all these political facts, how can we help others when we are suffering here and when the future of our kids is uncertain and threatened? We need to act and we need to do that now. Call or email your congressman/congresswoman, your senator, and governor and tell them that you do not want your tax money to go abroad (and remember, we are not talking about humanitarian, agricultural or cultural aid) while we are faced everyday here with austerity measures and budget cuts. Make this a priority and contact as many friends as you can and tell them to do the same and so forth. You can find information about the contact info online or by contacting the city you live in. Here are some important links: http://gov.ca.gov/m_contact.php http://www.ebbc2.ebbc.org/pops/senators.html https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml Thank you for doing your part.
