Proposal

      Proposition 30 is going to be appearing on the upcoming ballot, which will greatly help our schools in California. If voters pass Proposition 30, around $6 billion will be brought in through raising taxes on Californians who make over $250,000 per year for seven years. State sales tax will increase by .25% for four years. All of the money will help our schools get back on track and can give children the education they deserve without having to worry about printer paper.

 Evidence
     Here is something for the undecided voters, busy voters and opposing voters to think about: when a child is around the age of 5-7 years old, development of children's brains are able to start nailing down reading and writing. With all of the full classes, lack of teachers resulting in overly full classes not allowing students the utmost attention, they could not learn what they need. Kids need to learn at the proper time because they are our future.

Writer's Strategy
Logos
     Children learn to read, write and spell in K-3rd grade; they can not wait for funding, they need to learn then and there. When you are a child, your brain is metaphorically referred to a sponge because it is able to absorb so many skills you end up using your whole life. If Proposition 30 does not pass, the near $6 billion will be cut from schools so children will be crammed into classes with minimal help from the teachers and not have the necessary learning tools like textbooks. in essence, this time of peak learning potential will pass in the blink of all of our eyes. Our future Leaders (today's children) might not get a good education: what is our world coming to? Vote YES on 30.
Ethos
    Currently as a college student and also passing all K-12 classes, I have seen first hand how budget cuts hurt schools. People in school don't realize students see how many things are jeopardized when funding is cut; teachers, administrates, and campus staff can lose their jobs, along with cutting apart teaching material.
Pathos
     As a kid, you may have dreamed of becoming a Doctor, Fireman, Police Officer or Veterinarian; but what do all of these professions have in common? Lots of Education. To become a Doctor there is many years of schooling but imagine how hard it would be if teachers had enormous class sizes you only have two class choices because all the other ones were cut, that is what will happen if Proposition doesn't pass.
Reader Effect
Logos
    I hope by the example that I gave, people will think about not just themselves and them having to pay an extra tax. When you think about it, kids in K-12 are not the ones even voting, and they do not deserve harsh cuts to their education.
Ethos
    Using credibility I hope weary or opposing voters might read this and realize the cuts are noticed by everyone walking around campus.
Pathos
    Using the emotional appeal I hope that voters will find a soft spot in their hearts and think of the innocent children affected by all that is going on. Vote YES on Proposition 30 if you are an ethical person and want a great future with educated leaders.
