Dear Rep. _________:
I live in a state where beating school children would be unthinkable. I was shocked to learn that there are NINETEEN states where this can happen.
Please support H.R. 3027 and do everything in your power to end this travesty.
Thank you,
(Signed)

Dear Rep. _________:
I want to add my name to all those who support H.R. 3027. Sooner or later children will have equal rights under the law. I urge you to be on the right side of history and make this happen sooner rather than later.
Thank you for helping protect our children.
(Signed)

Dear Rep. _________:
I urge you to support Rep. Carolyn McCarthy's H.R. 3027. This legislation to protect children from corporal punishment by educators is long overdue. The fact that children in nineteen states can be legally assaulted and battered is disgraceful. All children deserve equal protection under the law regardless of the state in which they reside.
Thank you for helping make every child safe at school.
(Signed)

Dear Rep. _________: (Committee member from a non-paddling state)
I am writing to ask you to support H.R. 3027 to protect children from corporal punishment at school. Did you know that nearly 250,000 children are punished at school every year, usually by being beaten with a wooden paddle on their bottoms?
Your great state does not allow corporal punishment, so I don't think the people who vote for you would mind if you became a co-sponsor of this bill. Since you are on the Education Committee, I know you care about all children and not just the ones in your state. So please become a co-sponsor.
Sincerely,
(Signed)
*= Indicates states which allow corporal punishment in schools.
