Petition:
Gov. Blunt,

The cuts to mental health funding that you have proposed
endanger many of Missouri's most vulnerable citizens. In
particular the closing of Bellefontaine Habilitation Center and
other state-operated mental health facilities and programs put
at risk the well being and even the lives of hundreds of
Missourians.

There are no adequate alternatives available to the clients and
these cutbacks and closings would be inhumane.

We, the undersigned, call on you to continue Missouri's
commitment to those with disabilities and maintain the
facilities and programs that serve them.
