Who’s for Kids and Who’s Just Kidding?

On November 4, North Carolinians will go to the polls to elect all 170 state legislators, 13 U.S. Representatives, a U.S. Senator and other officials in statewide office. These officials will make decisions that shape our children’s lives today and well into the future. But children can’t vote. It is up to us to make sure that our children’s voices get heard.
Adults need to ask candidates to make children a priority by investing in solutions that improve conditions and
opportunities for North Carolina’s children and their families. Let candidates know that your support for them hinges
on their support for children by asking candidates the right questions. Action for Children North Carolina has prepared a voter guide to help determine Who's for Kids and Who's Just Kidding?
In addition, Action for Children North Carolina will host a nonpartisan event "NC’s Step Up and Act for Children" on the south side of the Capitol grounds at 9:30 a.m. on September 16th to call on candidates to increase federal investments in children and make children’s issues a priority in the 2008 election.
