To our represetatives in Washington, DC,
Hi! My name is Charlie. As a constituent and a person with a disability, I am requesting the Senator/Congessman support the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
Centers for Independent Living enable people with disabilities participate in, and contribute to society. Independent Living has been under funded for too many years. There are areas in our state that do not receive Independent Living services.
With this funding Centers can serve more people with disabilities to maximize their independence and economic self-sufficiency. CIL’s play a leading role in helping people with disabilities transition from nursing homes to the community, with significant savings to the state and federal government.
This funding will also allow more people with disabilities the opportunity for employment. This is a smart investment for the country and I strongly encourage you to support the Independent Living program funding included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Thank you for your strong support!
Charlie Bean
