Dear Friend,

 Just 1 Day Left to Pass the Healthy Teens Act...

With your help, we have placed thousands of faxes, calls and e-mails into Senator Bruno's office over the past few weeks. Today is the last scheduled day of the 2007 Legislative Session, and our last shot at passing the Healthy Teens Act.

By clicking on the button "take action" you can send a free fax to Senate Majority Leader Bruno asking him to support the Healthy Teens Act (S.1342). Many of you have already sent Senator Bruno a fax - PLEASE DO IT AGAIN! Senator Bruno needs to hear from you how important this legislation is to New York teens. 

On an average day, more than 100 teens in New York become pregnant. Fax Senator Bruno today and tell him the time is now, we need to give teens the information they need to make healthy decisions about their lives.

Subject: Pass the Healthy Teens Act (S.1342)

Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],

I am writing to urge you to pass the Healthy Teens Act (S.1342) TODAY, the last scheduled day of the 2007 Legislative Session.

On an average day, more than 100 teens in New York 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 the Senate adjourns.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
