Hi reader,

I am writing to you on behalf of KABATAAN Partylist to ask you to vote for real change on May 10, 2010.

How can we tell which candidates are really for change? We believe the key is in the saying “Actions speak louder than words”. Candidates can, and should be assessed based on their platforms, and what they have done while in office.

Why vote for KABATAAN Partylist? Here are the top three reasons:

1. KABATAAN has authored/co-authored many important bills, such as: the Anti-’No Permit, No Exam’ Act, the BPO Workers’ Protection Act, the Styrofoam Ban Act, and the Free Special Education Bill.

2. KABATAAN has launched many campaigns for the benefit of the youth and the people, including the extension of the voter registration period, the Tulong Kabataan relief drive for Ondoy victims, and Hotlines against Forced Grad Fees and the ‘No Permit, No Exam’ policy.

3. KABATAAN is consistent and unwavering in its call for the State to uphold the rights of the youth and the people, as embodied by its Platform “E4 All: Education & Employment, Environment & Nat’l Patrimony, End Corruption & Tyranny, Equality & Empowerment”.

We are also asking you to vote for the two most-qualified and most-dedicated Senatoriables in the present race, Satur Ocampo and Liza Maza. Here’s the top two reasons why you should make them your top two senators:

1. Their track record in serving the people is unmatched. For several decades, in many capacities, they have tirelessly worked to uplift the marginalized and less-fortunate in our society: as a journalist (Satur), teacher (Liza), anti-dictatorship activists, and now, partylist representatives. Their commitment has never wavered, not even in the face of persecution and personal harm, such as when they were part of the “Batasan 5″. This has earned the respect of many, including their critics.

2. Satur Ocampo and Liza Maza are two of the most-hardworking members of Congress today. Together, they have authored/co-authored many important LAWS such as the Anti-Torture Law, Abolition of the Death Penalty, Magna Carta of Women, Overseas Absentee Voting, Tax Relief for Minimum Wage Earners, Strengthening of the Public Attorney’s Office, Anti-Violence against Women & Children, Rent Control, and Anti-Trafficking in Persons.

The need for the new politics of change remain as urgent as ever. But Satur, Liza, and KABATAAN cannot do this on their own. They need our support: that’s why I’m personally asking you to pledge to vote for KABATAAN Partylist, and Satur Ocampo & Liza Maza for Senators.

Please reply to this letter with your response.

Sincerely,
Sweetham
