We have been working for years for this opportunity, so lets make the most of it!

We need your help:

1) If at all possible, come! Bring a friend! The more of us who can show
interest the better!
(If you can't come come, help someone else come).

2) Send the Senate Finance Committee your written testimony (doesn't need
to be long) and ask that it be entered into the Record for the Hearing.
Just tell them why we need MiCASSA (S. 971) and Money Follows the Person (S
1394), and why we need to end the institutional bias in Medicaid long term
care; it can be your personal story or a short explanation of why you care.
(More info to follow on this.)

Address for the Senate Finance Committee is: Senate Dirkson Office Building
Room 219 Washington DC 20510 fax 202/224-0554 http://finance.senate.gov
you can address it to the Committee Chair: The Honorable Senator Charles
Grassley and the Ranking Minority Member Senator Max Baucus.

VERY IMPORTANT: send ADAPT a copy at adapt@adapt.org or 1339 Lamar SQ DR
#101 Austin, TX 78704 We can use these for the future, but only if we get
a copy.

3) Are you from a state with a Senator who is a member of the Committee?
Check below. If so, contact your Senator and urge them to attend the
hearing! (Hearings when no Senator is there are not too great!) Show them
folks from your state care and want him/her to attend.

Senator John D Rockefeller WV 202/224-6472
