—————–
I’m voting “yes” on mill levies for our local school district, and I’m hoping you will, too. To find out why, I encourage you to visit Yes for Billings Kids on Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/yesforbillingskids
Or, visit the website for fact sheets and other information about the levies and why they’re needed.

If you agree with me, can I ask you for one more thing? Please forward this message to anyone who votes in Billings. We want to show everyone in our community–especially our children–that a simple “yes” can mean a brighter future for all of us.
Sincerely,
(your name)
