Just 2 Days to Pass the Healthy Teens Act. . .

Over the past few weeks, thanks to your help, we have placed thousands of calls and e-mails into Senator Bruno's office. Now, lets get this effort on paper. By clicking on the button "send this message" you can send a free fax to Senate Majority Leader Bruno asking him to support the Healthy Teens Act (S.1342).

There are only 2 days left in the 2007 Legislative Session to pass the Healthy Teens Act. In those 2 days, 218 teens in New York will become pregnant. Fax Senator Bruno today and tell him the time is now, we need to give our teens the information they need to make healthy decisions about their lives.

 

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am writing to urge you to pass the Healthy Teens Act (S.1342) before the end of the 2007 Legislative Session.

Two days remain in the Legislative Session. In two days alone, 218 teens will become pregnant. We cannot let another year go by without passing this critical legislation.

The Healthy Teens Act would enable schools and community-based organizations to apply for funding to teach age-appropriate, medically accurate, sex education. Currently, over 13 million dollars is spent in New York on abstinence-only programs which have been proven ineffective in delaying sexual activity among youth.

The time is now. We need to provide our teens with the tools they need to make safe and healthy decisions. I urge you to bring the Healthy Teens Act to the Senate floor for a vote before June 21st.

Sincerely,
