TELL LEGISLATORS TO SAVE D.A.R.E.

Posted on May 9, 2002 As D.A.R.E. officers who serve the schools in the 
city of Minden, we are greatly concerned to learn that the govenor, Mike 
Foster, has totally eliminated funding for the D.A.R.E. program statewide. 
Isn't deleting the funding for the D.A.R.E. program a step backward in 
providing our young people with information that they need in order to be 
able to make informed, responsible, choices and decisions concerning their 
future?

The D.A.R.E. program has a proven track record: it succeeds; it works. Join 
with us in contacting your legislators and public officials to let them 
know that you, too, believe in the D.A.R.E. program and want them to fully 
restore its fuding on a permanent basis.

We thank you for your concern and support.
