Thanks to all those who contacted their Congressional representatives! Because of your efforts, the Massachusetts delegation had a strong showing on the sign on letter initiated by Congressman Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Walter Jones (R-NC).
Among the 76 US Representative nationwide who signed their name, Massachusetts had Congressmen Mike Capuano, Bill Delahunt, Barney Frank and John Olver (in addition to Jim McGovern).

The focus now turns to the US Senate where a similar letter is being circulated. Please go to our Legislative Action Center where you can contact Senators Kerry and Kennedy to urge their participation in standing up for home health. Just go to the first message under “Federal or National Issues.”
If you have any questions, please contact James Fuccione at the Alliance.
