BRING THE URGENT ISSUES OF THE WAIT LIST AND PORTABILITY OF SERVICES

TO THE ATTENTION OF THE OBAMA TRANSITION TEAM

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, VOTE on the issue at the Obama Transition team site.

http://www.change.org/ideas/view/fully_fund_medicaid_waivers_for_the_development\

ally_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.

As you read the ideas already on the site above, you will see why

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

PLEASE HELP GET THIS ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE OBAMA TRANSITION TEAM
