There is

still work to be done…

THANK YOU~ to

everyone who shared their stories describing the impact proposed budget cuts to

community-based long-term care supports and services would have for individuals

who have a disability and their families. While this was one opportunity to

make our voices heard our work is not yet done. Below you will find additional opportunities

to provide input.

February 8th is deadline to sign the INVEST IN

COMMUNITY campaign petition. If you have not signed it yet, please do at: http://txp2p.org/InvestCommunity/index.html. If you have paper copies you have

obtained signatures on, please send them in before the deadline.
