Dear Friends,
I don’t mean to inundate you with e-mails. You are too busy for that. But there has been a surprising new challenge to the already meager abstinence education funding that North Carolina receives.Planned Parenthood is calling on Governor Easley to reject federal abstinence money. As you know, 14 states have already done this. Read this editorial written by the CEO of Planned Parenthood of Central NC’s that was in the Raleigh News and Observer on Wednesday of this week.
Please keep a watchful eye out for similar appeals in your local papers. Perhaps begin work on a letter to the editor (200 words) or guest editorial (700 words) that you can submit if this happens—a staff member or volunteer might like to help with this. I have attached a sample guest editorial to help with some of the groundwork, but please rewrite in your own words and add your own anecdotes. Also you might consider writing a letter to the governor or asking your board or supporter so do so. Here is his contact information.
We knew this fight would reemerge, but most people believed it would not be so soon. My prayers are with you as you work on the front lines.
Warmest regards,
Traci
