Petition:

We, the undersigned, believe that properly funding education is the right thing to do for our children, the state and our future. This recession was not started by our children, but unless more funds are found they will pay a heavy price when the cuts are made.

Already in some areas supplies are short, staff are being laid off and numerous programs are on the chopping block. Not only will these cutbacks short change our children, but they will be a blow to many local businesses as well when layoffs and spending cuts lead to reduced revenues.

Funds need to be found, hopefully from Federal sources in the shape of a jobs bill. Alternatively, revenues at the state level should be enhanced to ensure that education is on a sound and sustainable financial footing.

P.S. You can sign it so that your signature appears as anonymous online on the website and alsoemail addresses and street addresses are never publicly displayed on the website.
