Community Choice Act in Health Care Reform!

To: The President of the United States, Your U.S. Senators and Your U.S. House Representative

[all text of this petition came directly from The Center for Disability Rights]

This morning, ADAPT met with Nancy-Ann DeParle, the Obama administration's healthcare czar (Counselor to the President and Director of the White House Office of Health Reform). Despite featuring the Community Choice Act (CCA) prominently in the presidential campaign, President Obama's administration, including Ms. DeParle, has again demonstrated that they are unwilling to take leadership and capitalize on the promise of healthcare reform to pass CCA. ADAPT has been part of prior meetings with the Obama administration which also failed to yield any commitment to call for CCA to be part of healthcare reform. In response to the Obama administration's refusal to demonstrate leadership, ADAPT activists have chained and handcuffed themselves to the Whitehouse fence. They are refusing to leave until President Obama fulfils his campaign commitment to support passage of the CCA. ADAPT is demanding that President Obama create the change that Americans with Disabilities need: the Community Choice Act! It's important that our leaders in Washington DC hear from you! Send a letter to the Whitehouse, your Senators and Representative in Congress right now.

The time for signing this petition has ended.
