Action Alerts

Please take a moment of your time to call your State Representative and State Senator and send a clear message to them that we
can't afford to  make more cuts in the services relied upon  by Michigan residents.
The following are some general talking points for your call.  If possible, share stories and data about how your community has been
affected and will be affect by cuts in the state budget.
  • The state is facing a #3 billion shortfall in revenue and we can't cut our way out of this budget crisis.
  • State programs and services have already been reduced by $4 billion since 2001, and additional cuts will be devastating to our
    community.
  • It's time to Move Michigan Forward by increasing  revenue and investing in services and programs to ensure that the quality of life
    in Michigan is one in which communities, businesses and families thrive.
  • Swift action is needed to reinvest in services critical to all Michigan residents
  • Please share this message with others in your networks.  For more information on the state's fiscal crisis please visit

How to get our
voices heard?

1. Know your legislators
(Representatives and
Senators)
2. Know the legislators
who are on the Human
Services committee.

3.  When meeting with
legislators go with a
group of their
constituents and other
organizations – not on your
own.

4. Use data – important.
Michigan League of Human
Services has an excellent
website with tons of updated
information. Go to www.mlhs.
org

Please note also that fighting
against the present recall (10
Reps and Senators targeted for
this recall) is important.  The
recall creates a dangerous
precedent.
