Legislative Action Alert

- From Families USA

As the economy worsens, the President is steadfast in cutting public programs.

This time on the chopping block: Medicaid.

The Administration proposed rule changes that would cut Medicaid funding at a time when people need it most. But the House of Representatives recently overcame partisan politics to vote against the Medicaid cuts. Thanks to your grassroots efforts, the House bill passed with a veto-proof margin.

The Administration is working hard to prevent that from happening in the Senate.

The President has already threatened to veto this legislation. If he has his way, a number of critical services will be lost, including rehabilitation services, school-based transportation, and administrative services.

If left unopposed, the Administration's actions will also serve as a giant anti-stimulus package because the cuts will ripple through every state's economy – leading to losses in jobs, and drops in wages and business activity.

Your Senators need to hear from you about the need to support legislation blocking these terrible regulations from going into effect.

Act now by calling 1-800-828-0498, or by sending an email to your Senators.

Our senators, in Georgia, are:

Johnny Isakson
120 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Saxby Chambliss
416 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Your grassroots efforts were successful in the House. Now we must turn our attention to the Senate where a veto-proof majority is required to avoid another Presidential veto.

Thank you
