Extremely Urgent!

Please Make 26 Calls Tonight or

Thursday Morning!

 

Dear Friends,

 

The Legislature is set to adjourn Thursday night or Friday, and we finally have a live bill – introduced today — that has a real hope of saving our community services.

 

We need everyone to pick up the phone and call 26 – yes, 26 – key legislators now (no matter how late it is when you read this) or first thing Thursday morning! They have voice mail if you want to call tonight.

 

The voting in the first Senate committee should start shortly after 9 Thursday morning, with the votes in the full Senate and maybe Assembly before the end of the day or Friday morning.

When you call, just give them your name and tell them:

 

–      This is the last chance to save our developmental services system. We’re desperate! Thank you for all your support in the past, but we need you more than ever now!

–      Please put politics aside and pass Senate Bill x2-14 by Senator Ed Hernandez!

–      And please increase the funding in the bill to allow the full 10% across-the-board increase that we need to stabilize our system!
