Services!!!
DUE IN LARGE PART TO ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK,
WE SUCCESSFULLY SECURED LANGUAGE THAT
PROTECTED SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH

CONTACTING LEGISLATORS TO ENSURE THAT
SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND
THE ARIZONA LONG TERM CARE (ALTCS) DENTAL
PROGRAM ARE PROTECTED IN ALL FUTURE BUDGET
PROPOSALS.

If you support this issue - What YOU Need to
Say
· Address the budget deficit by identifying
areas that do not cause irrevocable harm to
some of Arizona's most vulnerable citizens.
· That you'd like them to fight hard to
preserve funding for critical services for
people with disabilities
· That cutting crucial services is not
eradicating luxury; it is eliminating life
sustaining necessities.
· Addressing the budget deficit isn't just
about numbers; it's also about assuring that
Arizonans with disabilities are afforded the
most basic human accommodation; shelter,
food, health care, provision for mobility,
education, employment, and rehabilitation
services.
· Resolving our fiscal issues must be
balanced by continued investment in our
citizens and community.
