Dear (Senator’s Name):

As a (parent/teacher/member of the community), I am concerned that our children are being offered low-nutrition foods and beverages that undermine their health with empty calories. Childhood obesity rates have doubled in children and tripled in teens over the last two decades!

I strongly urge you to stand up for kids’ health and vote YES on Oklahoma’s 2006 Fit Kids legislation, SB 1459, SB 1461, SB 1515 and HB 2655. It has the support of more than 90 professional Oklahoma  organizations — representing more than 30,000 concerned physicians, educators, and healthcare professionals.

With your support of these efforts to get more locally-grown, fresh fruits and vegetables into our schools and strengthen our Healthy and Fit School Advisory Committees , we can look forward to a healthier Oklahoma. I promise to support you in your fight to help protect our children’s health.

Sincerely,

Your name
