Dear Representative:

Our nation desperately needs the Head Start program to ensure equal
opportunity for all.  This important program has an impressive track record
of success in helping kids in poverty.  For example:

* Children who participate in Head Start are more likely to graduate from
high school;

* Children who graduate from Head Start commit fewer juvenile crimes, and
are more likely to not cause societal harm as adults;

* Head Start investments leverage federal tax dollars savings of up to 400%
because it prepares children for success in school and for a constructive
role in society.

President Bush's proposal to replace Head Start with inconsistent and
untested state programs makes no sense at all.  This proposal is a major
affront to some of the most important values of our country.

Rather than dismantle Head Start, please fight to expand its funding to
cover all eligible children;  this is clearly the right thing to do for our
country, both morally and fiscally.

Sincerely,

Peter R. Munoz
4102 Meadow VAlley Drive
Madison, WI  53704
