This paper is dedicated to organizing
around this issue. While the petition statement and the sample letter to the
editor provide some highlights as to what is at stake, there are many good
resources in the state with in depth analysis and commentary on how the new laws
could impact us should the state fail to heed the call on behalf of our
struggling children.
The website our organization has dedicated to organizing around this issue
has a wealth of information and pointers to most of the reports and studies that
have come out. Go to
