The Public needs to know about all the programs that are being affected because of the economy, and the children that are suffering by not getting the right education. These children are our future and we will be expecting them to keep our country running smoothly, but how can they if we do not train them now?
We have all kinds of programs that help our future leaders, or do we?
This is a summary of publicly funded programs, information provided by: Children Now website for more information go to http://www.childrennow.org

We need to stay on top of all that is going on in Sacramento to help protect our children. Please view my page on "Do not Cut our Kids" and write to our legislatures. Information on how to do this is in the article and reading the article will help you better understand what is happening in the government offices.
Thank you for taking the time to write to Sacramento if you have any questions email me: lendel@comcast.net
