I am writing to encourage all of you who have family members who will
eventually need or are currently waiting in need of Medicaid waivers to
join the National, newly structured NOEWAIT@yahoogroups.com. For those of
you who want to know more about this movement, please go to yahoogroups and
look.

What we are trying to do: Raise the national consciousness of people who
are waiting for services thru Medicaid. These are services which will keep
people at home, in their communities, with and/or near families. We want to
bring attention to our elected officials that we will not be silent any
longer. Our family members with disabilities are citizens of this country
and deserve the ability to live life in the community.

Many states have their own end the wait programs. Some states have NOTHING-
no end the wait, no wait list , no list at all.. IF you are in one of
those states, then you especially want to be aware of the national
movement. The national movement is to ENHANCE the local movement and gather
information for those who have nothing in place.

I ask all of you to read and consider becoming a part of this "END THE WAIT
_UNLOCK THE WAITING LIST>

WE CAN, We WILL, WE MUST end the wait - TOGETHER
