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

[Dana Miller]

I got 2 replies from the 13 letters I sent out about voting against the 
medicaid cut--one lady actually said in her letter that Republicans have 
said 'poor people don't vote, so they don't feel obligated to do anything 
for them'.! She will be a fighter!  The other letter said he would vote 
against it, he is a long time legislator.
I could not believe it when I read that statement!!  and I "will" be taking 
it with me!!

That might be a great policy to write about for my paper.  Thanks for the 
idea.

 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!
