Urge the White House to tell us what they are doing to protect our
freedom! _
Take Action!_
(http://capwiz.com/rochestercdr/utr/1/HTEMSBETZF/CDGVSBEUCD/8634427146) The
Obama Administration needs to support - not undercut - the
Olmstead decision!
This Friday, August 24th, the White House is holding its Monthly
Disability Call to update us on various disability issues. This month’s call
will
feature Senior Advisor to President Obama, Valerie Jarrett, and Director of
the White House Domestic Policy Council, Cecilia Muñoz.
It’s important that they address critical issues that affect the ability
of people with disabilities to live in the community and talk about what
they are doing to address the potential Democratic assault on Olmstead in the
Supreme Court, concerns raised by the disability community about the
Department of Labor’s proposed changes to the companionship exemption, and CMS’
s role in assuring that implementation of managed care eliminates – not
reinforces – Medicaid’s institutional bias.
TAKE ACTION NOW to send a personal email to Valerie Jarrett, Cecilia
Muñoz, and Kareem Dale telling them to address these issues. Feel free to add
other issues you want them to discuss or talk about the importance of
Olmstead.
ON FRIDAY JOIN THE CALL.
