Dear
Colleague:
Last week you
received an announcement from the National Effective Parenting
Initiative (NEPI) about working with President-elect Obama to
Make Effective Parenting and
Parenting Education a Presidential Priority.
Now there is
something YOU can do right away to
make this a reality!
The President-elect has
created a vehicle for submitting ideas for how citizens think his
administration should change America. It's called "Ideas for Change
in America."
I've submitted an
idea on behalf of NEPI and am asking everyone I know if they
would take a look at it. We need you to do
this AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
We are in
competition with many other ideas that have been
suggested.
The top 10
ideas with the most votes will be presented to the Obama
administration on Inauguration Day and will be supported by a
national lobbying campaign run by Change.org, MySpace, and more than
a dozen leading nonprofits after the Inauguration.
If we get the most
votes parenting education has a real chance at becoming
policy.
The title is:
Make Parenting Education a National Priority. You can read
and vote for the idea by clicking on the following
link:
http://www.change.org/ideas/view/make_parenting_education_a_national_priority
(NOTE: When you click on the vote button in the upper left hand corner(which has the
number of people who have already voted) you will be asked to
create an account. If you already have a Change.org account it will
tell you to "Click here." If you are just setting up an
account, you will be sent a verification
e-mail. Once you receive the verification e-mail, you
will be asked to click on the link in your email. You'll then
be taken back to the site. Once registered, click on "Ideas" in the
upper menu bar. Then in the "Search Ideas" on the right hand side
box enter "parenting education." Then Vote by clicking on
the rectangular "Vote" logo (the one with the number of people who
have already voted) next to the title, Make Parenting Education
a National Priority.)
You can make a real
difference! America's children need and deserve the best
parenting possible. You can help make it happen! So
VOTE NOW!
Also please take a minute or
two and FORWARD this communication to your
family members, friends and colleagues so that they too can vote.
Thank you!
