We're a committed group of people who work for organizations that want to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities and economic disadvantages.
We, the undersigned, ask Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to take a pledge to make Medicaid services a funding priority. These services support older adults, people with disabilities, and people with incomes below the poverty level.

We are approaching the one hundred signature mark which is the threshold required to trigger our formal request for a meeting with the Governor's policy team. I am asking everyone to direct this link to colleagues who understand the impact of Medicaid funding cuts. This ensures our delivery of a verified list when that meeting request is submitted.

So many people with disabilities are gonna be left behind if these cuts keep happening. Its shameful.
WALKER NEEDS TO WAKE UP. Dont balance the budget on the backs of the sick and the poor.
We need to protect these services. My neighbor is an older adult who relies on this for meds and nursing. Without it she is lost.
Really hope this gets through to him but I doubt it. People are suffering.
My mother depends on this for her care. Taking it away would destroy our family. Please do the right thing.

Medicaid is a lifeline for so many people in WI. Stop cutting budgets and start helping the people who actually need it.
