Hello, my name is (state your name here), and I am a PTA member in (state your city here). I want to urge Senator/Assemblymember (state the name of your legislator here) to put the tax extension measure on the June 2011 special election ballot.
I support a balanced approach to solving the state’s budget deficit so that deeper cuts to education and children’s services can be avoided. Voters should have the opportunity to decide on this important issue. My child attends (state the name of your school) and I believe these revenues are needed for their future. Thank you.
