Help participate in a state advocacy efforts that have a *direct
impact* on our loved ones! Join Wisconsin Families Forward in a
statewide action to call & email Gov Walker to VETO the Cap on
longterm community care programs for our loved ones with disabilities!

Call, email, fax Governor Scott Walker: email: govgeneral@wisconsin.gov
phone: (608) 266-1212
fax: 608-267-8983

It's not over until the budget is signed--so keep calling & emailing
Gov Walker. If you've called or emailed once, call/email again!

Tell Gov Walker: "VETO the cap on longterm care bc it's fiscally &
morally responsible and this is NOT how we treat Wisconsin's most
vulnerable!"

Friday's Journal Sentinel Editorial, A Cap Is Not A Fix, calls on
Governor Walker to veto the cap.

It's important that the Governor hear from hundreds of people asking
him to veto the cap, especially those families and consumers who rely
on community supports or are desperately waiting for help. Your calls
& emails will make it clear that there is broad opposition to the cap
& an urgent need for community services and supports.

As County Exec and as a state legislator, Governor Walker was a strong
supporter of community services, so let's give him another chance to
do he right thing: "If I did nothing else, I wanted to make sure
Milwaukee County expanded Family Care to people under the age of 60
with developmental and physical disabilities, so that they in turn
could see that waiting list eliminated like we did for older adults in
this community." County Executive Scott Walker, August 2010

Spread the word & thank you for linking arms for WI children & adults
with disabilities!! Soooooo many lives will be impacted by this: they
are our neighbors, they are US!

Governor Scott Walker: govgeneral@wisconsin.gov (608) 266-1212
