I need your help!!!

As most of you know I am a home health nurse. Congress has proposed more budget cuts on health care, and this will impact home health. Currently, home health only gets 4.5% of the budget for health care and if congress passes this cut home health will lose 11% of that. This will in turn shut down many small community home health agencies. Many people will lose their jobs (me included) and many more will end up in nursing homes rather than being able to live independently in their home. Please help us. My agency needs 1000 signatures. All I need you to do is email me your mailing address (this will ONLY be used for the petition against the budget cuts) and your name. Your phone number is optional! Please help keep the smaller home health agencies open! nursemommypaige@yahoo.com THANKS!
