I'm Headed To Lansing

[trix]

Ok, guy's gal's, Wednesday, February 16, 2011 anyone is welcome to come support the Hemophilia foundation, I'm directly affeted by the buget cuts by our governor, thanks Rick Snyder($2,000,000)in funding removed cause they say we have more money then needed. I get PAPERCUT I can potentially die. no cure for this disease

But anywho.... this would be a great time if anyone had letters to the legislators they would like to present petitions etc... I will be more than willing to try to get them in the hands of the right people...just a thought? this trip will be funded by the foundation and anyone wanting to go is welcome!! lunch at the capitol building..

won't hurt to try and support more than just one cause while I'm there seeing as I will meeting and talking directly to them!!!!

 

 

Funding for adults with hemophilia under Children's Special Health Care Services is once again at risk. The hemophilia community must mobilize quickly to educate the new legislators on the importance of maintaining this safety net program.
