Save ELI and subsidized childcare in Ohio!
Cuts to the early learning initiative and an overhaul of subsidized childcare will be devestating to Ohio's children and their families. We are yanking away the very head start that Governor Strickland's vision entailed. Help send the message loud and clear: DON'T BE A CONTRADICTION!!! ANTE UP ON OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE!!! These cuts will cause a massive domino affect that will begin with thousands of centers shutting their doors and lead to even more children who have no place to go while parents are at work or school, leading to a tougher decision: Do I provide for my family or care for my children? Don't force parents to make that choice!!!
We the undersigned want to let Governor Strickland know that Ohio children and families are important. The cuts spelled out by the governor last week will devestate Ohio families and hurt our future. We are signing this petition to ask you not to make your proposed cuts to childcare and the Early Learning Initiative. Don't sell out our future.
