Dear NOWAIT Members:

We have 2 opportunities to get the waiting list and portability

issues in front of the Obama transition team that involves YOU. It's

time now! Many of you have wanted to do something...and this will

take only a few minutes to do.

First, I have created an idea on the Obama Transition team site that

needs VOTES.

http://www.change.org/ideas/view/fully_fund_medicaid_waivers_for_the_d

evelopmentally_disabled

We need over 900 votes to get to the top of the Health Care list of

ideas. And WE CAN DO IT. Go there and VOTE. Then, send a message

to every listserv you are on and ask others to vote. Then, if you

have a web site or blog, create a widget to put on your site or blog

to get others to vote. Put it on you Myspace or Facebook page. See

how many votes you can find. I KNOW we can do it!

Second, go to:

http://change.gov/agenda/disabilities_agenda/

And tell your waiting list and portability story and urge change and

funding.

If you read the idea I put on the site above, you will see why

portability is so important if you don't know already.

Write back to this listserv and tell us what you did! Tell your

stories! Make them cry! Let's go people! We can do it!

I wonder what it would do for people like me who are on spend down. I

got a job and that is why I am. I would not need one if were not for

my parents helping themselves to my social security
