March 2 - Fund Texas' Future Day!

Dear Public Education Advocates,

Forward this email to everyone in your community who cares about Texas students!

It's the biggest crisis in Texas history. Nearly five million Texas students need our help. Texas PTA is proclaiming Wednesday, March 2, as "Fund Texas' Future Day." It's imperative we make sure our "house is in order" - the Texas House of Representatives in Austin, that is. Please light up cyberspace by emailing your state representative on Wednesday, March 2.

Please personalize your message, but here are some important points to include in your email to your state representative:

Texas PTA's legislative position is that funding public education is a priority.
Regardless of what your campaign promises might have been, there are nearly five million reasons for you to look at all sources of funding to protect public education.
Cutting funding to public education is not acceptable.
The Rainy Day Fund and all revenue sources should be considered to fund Texas's future.
Texas children are our future.
Texas businesses cannot thrive without an educated workforce. The economic viability of our state is directly related to the education of our children.
