Greetings to all Animal Protection Organizations.
This project is about to close and I need everyone who supports humane
education in our nation's
> schools to write a short note on letterhead if possible stating your
> support. It can even be done via email now. There are 3,000 animal
> related organizations in America and I'd hoped to have a majority.
> So far, I've gotten just over 875 and clearly will not hit my goal by
> May 1 but would certainly like to have 1,000 letters if possible.
> This will open doors for your organization as well since each state
> governor, each state legislative body and each state board of
> education will have a copy of your letter and be made aware of your
> efforts.
>
> We have one week left. Please send your letters and share this with
> others. Thank you so much.
> America CARES Coalition is an active participation of groups and
> individuals who 'think outside the box' in order to see the necessary
> improvements in today's animal protection efforts.
>

>
> Dear Animal Rights, Animal Protection and Animal Welfare
> organizations, Teachers and Parents,
>
> 1-America CARES will do the actual mailing
>
> 2-Your organization only need to send a letter via email
> to be included
>
> 3-Read the cover letter below and see a sample letter of
> what we hope yours will say.
>
> "Recognizing that each individual organization would
> ultimately hope for the implementation of humane education programs
> in our nation's schools as well as the elimination of all political
> aspects that have prevented our efforts from moving further towards
> our goals, the America CARES Coalition has taken on the following
> project. Realizing that each organization has their own goals and
> objectives that should be pursued in the way they see fit, this
> letter is only to show the 50 states' governors, legislators and
> board of educations, that we (all animal welfare, animal rights and
> animal protection organizations regardless of size) can stand
> together on one issue in agreement. The signatures will be listed by
> organizational name in an alpha numerical order so as not to give any
> single participant extra 'weight' or notoriety among the remaining
> signatures. We also realize that there is so much more that needs to
> be said, done and done in a variety of ways, but this letter is
> specifically written in very simple terms to eliminate the political
> wrangling as well as to show them, and well as ourselves, that it is
> possible for everyone to agree on something in a very public display
> of unity towards our nation's schools and the implementation of
> humane education into the curriculum by the year 2010. By sending a
> simple letter with a definitive statement, this will show the vast
> number of voters and citizens that truly have an interest in seeing
> humane education included into our nation's schools. It is a letter
> to affect change. Each organization should continue to pursue their
> noble efforts in the way they have successfully established prior to
> this. How each state implements this is the individual states'
> decision. This will provide all organizations an opportunity to
> pursue the states with their ideas of how it could be included and
> under given guidelines guidelines."

> supporting humane education.
