Support State and Local Fiscal Relief

At least half of all states are facing a budget crisis and are planning large cuts in health care, education, public safety and aid to local governments. Millions of aging and disabled individuals and children are at risk of losing their health care coverage.

Contact your Senators and Representative now! Tell them to help states and local governments in their time of need and protect health care for millions of Americans.

State deficits in fiscal year 2009 totaled at least $48 billion and continue to grow as the economy deteriorates, unemployment rises and the housing crisis continues. In recent years, federal funding to states and localities has not kept pace with inflation, population growth or unmet needs. Now is the time for Congress to provide temporary, targeted and timely state fiscal relief.
