Take Action Now! <http://capwiz.com/rochestercdr/issues/alert/?alertid=13730741&queueid=%5bcapwiz:queue_id%5d>
Background: Representative Danny Davis needs your help. He has written a letter asking that the Community Choice Act (H.R.1670) be included in healthcare reform, and needs members of the House of Representatives to sign on in support of this initiative. So far, these representatives have signed on:
John Lewis (GA)
Don Young (AK)
Robert Wexler (FL)
Elijah Cummings (MD)
Yvette Clarke (NY)
James Langevin (RI)
John Olver (MA)
Eric Massa (NY)
Kendrick Meek (FL)
Joe Sestak (PA)
Jesse Jackson Jr. (IL)
If any of these people are your representatives, please thank them for their support!
Representative Davis feels that members of Congress will be very likely to sign on to the letter if requested to do so by their constituents (you). Please contact them and ask them to sign on. Let them know how important the Community Choice Act is to you and the disability community.
You can find a copy of the letter on the ADAPT website http://www.adapt.org/images/ddavisletter.pdf <http://www.adapt.org/images/ddavisletter.pdf> (its PDF only).
Please report your efforts by emailing Mike Godino at mgodino@bcid.org or by calling 718-998-3000.
