Greetings,
URGENT ACTION:
Missouri Legislators are cutting over $300
million in
health care and critical state services.
Missouri House Leaders must hear from
you
while they're at home on spring recess!
Budget bills move to the House floor next
week!
Make four calls right NOW!
1. Your representative. Look up
your legislator here.
2. House Budget Chair Allen Icet:
(d) 636-519-0002; Allen.Icet@house.mo.gov
3. Speaker of the House Ron Richard:
(d) 417-781-0206; ronrichard@fastfreedom.net;
Ronald.Richard@house.mo.gov
4. House Budget Vice-chair Rick Stream:
(d) 314-822-0556; rstream@rickstream.org;
Rick.Stream@house.mo.gov
Tell legislators: Make NO CUTS to health
care and state services! Use federal recovery act dollars
in the core budget! Protect services and
jobs!
Then email
us to let us know what you heard!
Remember the 2005 Medicaid cuts and the people still
suffering because of them? It's happening again.
Allen Icet and Republican House leaders are doing the
opposite of what our economy needs. They are
eliminating more than 3,700 jobs and cutting over $300 million
in critical state services that laid off workers and
families. These cuts turn away billions of
dollars of federal funding to shore up Missouri's economy over
the next few years.
These cuts are unnecessary. Federal economic recovery
money is available so that not one service, job or person has to
be cut. But key Missouri legislative leaders
refuse to use federal recovery act dollars intended to stabilize
state services during the economic downturn.
State budget cuts target health care programs for working
parents and children, and other essential services to laid off
workers. Many other critical state programs and services are on
the chopping block including services for chronically mentally
ill children and adults, seniors and people living with
disabilities.
At a time when workers and families are struggling just to
eat, fill their gas tanks, and heat their homes, more cuts to
social services must be stopped!
Subject: STOP THE CUTS to health care and state services
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
In these economic times it is outrageous to eliminate more than 3,700 jobs and cut over $300 million in critical state services and programs for working parents and children.
These cuts are unnecessary. Use the Federal economic recovery money to insure that our working families get the health care and services that they need. In addition, cuts to the services of seniors and people with disabilities are just cruel.
At a time when workers and families are struggling just to eat, fill their gas tanks, and heat their homes, more cuts to health care and services must be stopped!
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
