Dear Berkeley High Parents,

As well as continuing to contact Governor 
Schwarzenegger, Assemblywoman Hancock, 
Assemblyman Swanson and Senator Perata, we now 
need to start contacting leading Republicans in 
Sacramento.  Attached you will find the four 
letters from last time and two new ones for 
Republican State Assemblyman Michael Villines and 
Republican State Senator Dick Ackerman.

  This battle against the proposed cuts to 
education is only going to be won with a 
tremendous political effort and we will need to 
contact these representatives on a regular basis. 
The State PTA recommends that we contact these 
six once a week by either mail, email, fax or 
phone.  Mark a day of the week on your calendars 
to quickly contact these representatives with a 
quick word to remind them that this issue still 
really matters to you.  Feel free to keep using 
the same letters over and over.  The Governor and 
the Republicans in particular needs to hear from 
everyone, every week.  Be sure to replace the 
school's heading at the top of the letters with 
your own, as well as adding your name to the 
bottom.

Assemblywoman Loni Hancock, along with other 
Assembly Democrats, have created a website 
dealing with California’s Fiscal Emergency:  
<http://www.adc.asm.ca.gov/issues/budget/default.aspx>http://www.adc.asm.ca.gov/issues/budget/default.aspx. 
You can keep up to date by visiting on a regular 
basis.  Please get involved with the steps that 
the District and the PTA put forth, or your 
children’s education will be compromised.  Thank 
you for your support.

Sincerely,

Mark van Krieken
BHS PTSA President
