TELL GOVERNOR RITTER THE AID TO NEEDY DISABLED PROGRAM (AND) IS NOT EXPENDABLE!
Dear Friends, Over the past several weeks, more than 45 organizations and hundreds of individuals have united to protest the Governor’s stunning decision to eliminate the only source of support for more than 10,000 of Colorado’s poorest citizens who must cope with a disability that’s rendered them unable to earn a living. Despite such widespread public opposition, the Governor remains resolute in his desire to take this unprecedented action.
Since 1953, Colorado's Governors have seen the wisdom in preserving this resource of last resort for our neighbors in greatest need. Cutting the Aid to Needy Disabled (AND) Program is a decision that will result in extraordinary humanitarian devastation; skyrocketing costs to municipalities and tax payers in emergency services; and, a multi-million dollar loss to Colorado businesses. Click here for details.
Please contact Governor Ritter . Tell him the AND Program is NOT expendable.
Please contact Karen Beye, Executive Director, Colorado Department of Human Services.
Please contact your legislator. Introduce yourself as their constituent. Tell them you strongly oppose the elimination of the AND Program.
Thank you for your attention and advocacy, B.J. Iacino
