[aaace-nla] help Needed--constructs for the message

[AWilder106@aol.com]

Dear George,                                                            
Office Building

Priorities, priorities, priorities.

When money is pressing (I quote from your post) and even when it isn't, 
somethings are more important than others.

I care about votes and getting educated (is that related to literacy?) 
citizens.   Let's make it simple--citizens who can read and write and vote.   All 
representatives care about the voting part, that's how we got here, and most of 
us like the job.

My school teacher daughter reminds me I also care about Education with a 
capital E.

If you can show me how to connect the dots, how to create literacy programs 
that succeed, you've got an audience. 

My previous committee assignment was on riparian rights, so my education 
assignment is new, and you are the expert. I can tell you some things that might 
help what you are interested in, though.

1)     Sharpen your language so I can understand it.   I know about 
"politics" but not "politics of."
2)     We listen to state directors of education and lobbyists.   
3)     Check into the education committe websites.   We are a partisan crowd. 
  


Back to the hustings!   

Thanks for your comments on adult literacy, we need concerned citizens, an 
American tradition.

Susan Lex, Representative
