Dear Governor Campaign TV Launch on Sunday

Today InterHab publicly announced our statewide media campaign to urge Governor Brownback to exclude long-term I/DD care services from the State's Medicaid managed care model known as KanCare.  Beginning this weekend, the following television ad will begin airing:

The media campaign, titled “Dear Governor,” will feature television and radio spots from parents of Kansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities directly urging the governor to exclude their child’s long-term care from KanCare. The spots will air in communities across Kansas. The media campaign will augment a widespread advocacy effort already underway across the state that has seen tens of thousands of Kansans e-mail, write letters and telephone their legislators and the governor to urge that I/DD long-term care services be excluded from KanCare. Advocates have also taken to social media with tens of thousands of “likes” and shares of “Dear Governor” pictures, videos and messages that have appeared on Facebook.
