My name is ______ and I am writing to ask you to vote NO on HB2142 or any other measure used to eliminate the Protect Education initiative.
Arizona voters adamantly support public school funding, and increased accountability and transparency of ESA private school vouchers. Voting to approve this measure would in one fell swoop cancel the will of hundreds of thousands of Arizona voters who signed to put ESA voucher reform on the ballot.
This would rob the people of Arizona from the ability to vote to rein in the $1 billion voucher program that’s robbing our public schools. This brokered deal does not include real guardrails to the program like the Protect Education initiative does – in fact, does almost nothing to strengthen safety and accountability, and fails to recoup hundreds of millions of dollars for our public school funding
As a volunteer, I have given ____ hours and submitted ____ petitions in the heat, all while having meaningful conversations with voters in the field about the importance of civic engagement, public education, and electing officials who support Arizona’s public schools.
Voters have a right to weigh in on how their taxpayer dollars are spent, and any yes vote on this measure would disenfranchise Arizona voters.
Please think of the above and fight alongside us. We are sick and tired of settling for crumbs or weak compromise when it comes to Arizona children. Arizonans will remember who stood with voters and public schools in this critical moment.
URGENT
