Action Alert: Urge Congressman Dingell To Keep Promise To People With Disabilities
Set Hearing Date For Community Choice Act!
Dear Community Services Advocates: Please send the following message to Representative Dingell during the week of October 3rd through October 12th.
Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) is the Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees Medicaid issues, including the Community Choice Act. In May of 2007, Rep. Dingell promised to set a date in the fall of 2007 for a hearing on the Community Choice Act (H.R. 1621) in the House Energy and Commerce Committee, but has not kept his promise.
Without a hearing, the Community Choice Act will not be taken seriously, and will languish and possibly, die in committee. Also, a clear hearing date will give disability activists around the country time to plan and prepare to attend.
