Send an email to your legislators and Governor Baldacci asking them to find a better way to balance the state budget. You can use the letter below, but by personalizing the subject line and text of the message it is more likely to get read.

February 09, 2010 Subject: I'm writing to request that you propose a budget that strengthens our communities and avoids shifting higher costs to expensive and inefficient outcomes. The State of Maine should maintain community investment by devoting needed resources to community basics so Maine people and Maine businesses can achieve their maximum potential. When it comes time to enact the biennial budget, I hope you will support Maine people and our desire to work together and share resources so everyone benefits. In these tough economic times, the State of Maine's job of protecting our communities and people is even more important. Thank You, We will add your signature from the information you provide.
