John,

I know when my kids were little, they loved the end of the year: the food, the presents, and, of course, the time off from school.

But as they got older and started to think about building careers and families, they realized just how important a quality education really is.

Unfortunately, Congress doesn't seem to have learned that lesson.

A new report shows that since 2011, federal education spending on K-12 education has dropped by nearly 20 percent. That's hundreds of millions of dollars gone from our public schools.

Today, I'm asking you to stand with me and every student in America. Tell Congress: Stop cutting education funding.

When federal education funding gets cut, our children feel the pain. Schools are forced to reduce staff and increase class sizes. They're forced to lay off teachers and cut important programs. 

An investment in education is an investment in our future. And while we need to get our debt and deficits under control, the cuts we make must not shortchange our children. 

Let Congress know where you stand. Tell them to stop cuts to K-12 education.

We cannot let misguided politicians in Washington jeopardize our nation's future. 

Thanks for standing with me today. 

Ann
