Hi,
I just asked my Representative to support the Balancing Act, an excellent package of family-friendly legislation that includes:
* Paid family leave so no mother has to go back to work days after giving birth,
* Public universal pre-school,
* Major investments in child care so having a child is no longer the top reason American families have "a poverty spell",
* After school programs for all kids who need them,
* Healthcare for all children,
* Benefits for part-time workers, and
* Telecommuting incentives so parents have more flexible work options.
I encourage you to do the same by going to:

[Here's how it works: Just click the link above, fill out the form with your name and address so the database can match up to your legislative district, edit the sample letter (or not), then hit "Submit." This will send your email directly to your legislator without you ever needing to look anything up. It's nearly magic!]
The whole process takes about 30 seconds, but the impact goes on for much longer. Believe it or not, taking a moment to email your elected officials will make a big difference.
Thank you!
