Help Get & Keep Us Out of Nursing Homes
Don't Let Them Leave Us Out of Health Reform!

Our national leaders just don't get it. They don't want to reform long-term care so that seniors and people with disabilities can live in our communities instead of in nursing homes. They have indicated that they won't pass the Community Choice Act as a part of national healthcare reform.

Please help to educate them by emailing your representatives, Speaker Pelosi, the President, and federal policy staff to let them know that you want the CCA passed, and that you know that without it, healthcare reform will fail.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid won't let you e-mail him through our service. You can reach him directly and cut-and-paste the message below into a form on his website by going to http://reid.senate.gov/contact
