Governor O'Malley finally blinked and the proposed funding cuts are off the table. We forced them to back down because we refused to let them balance the budget on the backs of the most vulnerable. Now we stay vigilant to make sure they do not try this again.

One hundred of us have told Governor O'Malley that he cannot balance the budget on the backs of people with disabilities. We have reached this first mark but the state still ignores the reality of these cruel cuts. Keep the pressure on until they listen.

Enough is enough. These are humans not budget numbers on a spreadsheet.
STOP CUTTING FUNDING FOR THE VULNERABLE. This is shameful Maryland.
My brother relies on these programs every day. You cant just take away the lifeline for people who didnt ask to be born with these struggles.
These families are worn thin enough as it is. Taking away respite and job support is just cruel.
Find the money somewhere else. Not from the people who need it most.

Ridiculous that they keep going after the people who have zero voice in this. Fix the budget without hurting our neighbors.
