Vote For Kids 2008
Who's for kids, and who's just kidding?
Voices wants to engage voters and candidates in the 2008 election cycle to speak out on the importance of investing in the key building blocks for children’s positive and healthy development.
Here are things you can do to help put kids on more political agendas
• Make sure you're registered to vote and vote on election day. Deadline to register for the November 2008 election is October 6
• Ask the candidates where they stand on children's issues and let them know that they need to support children, youth and families to get your vote. Use this sample letter
• Contact your federal, state and local policy makers, urging them to adopt a comprehensive agenda for children
