Reinforce to the White House " Don't Cut Our Lifeline! " Take Action!

Recently, The Arc accepted an invitation to visit the White House

with families from Texas, Georgia, West Virginia, and Virginia to share how

effective Medicaid is for people with intellectual and developmental

disabilities (I/DD) and the important lifeline to services and supports it

provides. The Arc thanks President Obama for this invitation and for the

Administration's strong opposition to Medicaid block grants. The Arc

appreciates the support the Administration has shown for Medicaid, Social

Security and other programs vital to people with I/DD and urges the White House

to continue to champion these programs during the deficit reduction

negotiations.

With so much at stake, advocates must continue to express how

crucial Medicaid is to each and every family.

Our recent action alerts have targeted Congress; this week we want

the White House to hear how they must continue to champion Medicaid, Social

Security and other programs that help low income individuals and people with

disabilities.

What should I include in my email message?

. Thank you for opposing deep cuts in Medicaid and block grants.

Medicaid is our lifeline to services and supports.

. Medicaid, Social Security and programs that serve low-income

people must be protected in deficit reduction plans and we are counting on the

Obama Administration to champion these efforts.

. Don't Cut Our Lifeline!
