Message:

“Hello, my name is __________. I am asking that Representative ______________ please support funding for the Department of Developmental Disabilities in House Bill 49 as introduced. These monies are critical for our system’s success. Thank you.”

It’s that simple. You can use the above message by email or by calling their office. If you can contact all of the offices listed that would be great.

If you want to mention who you are with or what your position is that would be fine as well. For many, you are aware of the issues in some detail and please feel free to elaborate if you wish. We want you to feel comfortable in your advocacy knowing that it makes a difference. Thank you.
