Write to Government Leaders to stop budget cuts to schools

The most common question I keep getting is how to fight these cuts to education. My best suggestion is to stay involved with your school district to find out about events and forums occurring. Also, WRITE letters to your representatives telling them you what you think. The letter does not have to be long. Simply state if you are for or against the cuts. They pile these letters in FOR and AGAINST piles to see what the people think. We all need to tell them what we think.

Here is all the contact information I have so far:
