RALLY TO RETURN FUNDING TO D.A.R.E. PROGRAM

As Drug Abuse Resistance Education program (D.A.R.E.) officers who serve
the schools in the city of Minden, we are greatly concerned to learn Gov.
Mike Foster has totally eliminated funding for the D.A.R.E. program
statewide. Isn't deleting the funding for the D.A.R.E. program a step
backward in providing our young people with information they need in order
to be able to make informed, responsible, choices and decisions concerning
their future?

The D.A.R.E. program has a proven track record. It succeeds, it works. Join
with us in contacting your legislators and public officials to let them
know you, too, believe in the D.A.R.E. program and want them to fully
restore its funding on a permanent basis.

We thank you in advance for your concern and support.
