joreth: (Nude Drawing)

Posted by: "Anita Wagner" 

I know many, many bisexual and/or poly people who care very much about and support the rights of our young people to fact-based sex education. Today we have a very valuable opportunity to express our support for significant funding cuts now under consideration in the US House and Senate for this irresponsible, ill-conceived program.

The less abstinence-only sex ed there is, the fewer young people there are who will be misled and continue to be at risk for lack of adequate information about how to protect their sexual health and prevent pregnancy - and $28 million taxpayer dollars will be saved and not squandered on this decade-old program that has been repeatedly proven not to work.

In just a couple of minutes you can send an e-mail to your senator and representative expressing your support for these funding cuts by going to http://capwiz.com/advofy/issues/alert/?alertid=10474511

Feel free to cross post as appropriate, and thanks for considering!
