Re: [QUAD-L] Hopefully MO can --" We Did It!"

[Dana Miller]

This kind of info is crammed down their throats consistantly, yet never 
seems to sink in!  Its like they have no idea what math is!  Tuesday is the 
"big" rally at the capital!  I would say if there were any quad list members 
to look for a gal with a doberman, but am dogless right now, so don't know 
how to say "I'm here". (a red dobe has been found, but will not have him 
until the middle of April!).

Anyway, hope people from all over the state show up! 
take care,

Dana

Don't forget the Olmstead Act.
It is also good to go armed with solutions.
Make sure to use the information that allowing users to direct hire
their aids (money follows the person) instead of going through an
agency, the State can save money w/o cutting people off.
Most agencies are "top heavy" resource waste.
The "Quality of Life" angle may work using the media which can draw on
that final scene of "Million Dollar Baby" and the fiasco going on in
Florida to generate public awareness of just how important it is to
live instead of exist.
Good Luck!

Great!  Now if we can keep the govenor of Missouri from doing away
with the
parts of medicaid that pay for medicines and pay for the services and
attendants that let the disabled live independantly!!  He will cut
the
funding off with a knife!!  He also wants to cut the funding for non
disposable items such as wheelchairs and prosthetics!
Those of us that live in MO, join the rally that is going to happen
the 28th
of this month!!  Call your independant living center for a ride!  Its
going
to be a "big" rally!  The GRO people will be there in abundance too!
Email
and write letters, or phone your legislaters!  Two years ago we were
able to
keep it from happening in a similar fashion but on a smaller scale.
I think
some things were cut anyway, but not near the extent that will happen
this
time!
I will wind up in a nursing home and nearly everyone else in a
wheelchair I
know, will too!
