The WhoWillCare.net Campaign is Back in Action!

We last reported that the Direct Support Professionals Fairness and Security Act was reintroduced as H.R. 868 in the 111^th Congress. WhoWillCare.net is excited to annouce that we have seen a dramatic response to an e-mail that we sent February 24, 2009 to the WhoWillCare.net audience. Already 297 people have taken action and asked their Representative to co-sponsor this bill. Your efforts have been recognized and as a result we already have a co-sponsor besides Congressman Lee Terry (NE-2) who introduced the bill with Congresswoman Capps (CA-23) — Representative John, McHugh (NY-23).

Thank you, Congressman McHugh, for taking the first step in ensuring that Direct Support Professionals receive a fair wage and that people with disabilities and the elderly are truly cared for and receive the best quality of life.

Please, take action, if you haven't already by asking your Representative to co-sponsor H.R. 868 today.

Take Action

The 131 co-sponsors of H.R. 1279 expired at the end of the 110^th Congress. Co-sponsors must renew their sponsorship of H.R. 868 in the 111^th Congress.

Please, if your representative co-sponsored the Direct Support Professionals Fairness and Security Act in the past, ask them to renew their support and co-sponsor H.R. 868.
