Senator Bob Casey: We’ve Been Waiting a Long Time for the Youth PROMISE Act

May 6, 2009 Front Page No Comments

We’re serious about this. The Youth PROMISE Act is the biggest step we can take right now to keep the kids of America out of prison.

Send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper to start the discussion in your community.

Write your Congressional Representative to let them know you support the Youth PROMISE Act!
