Thank you to all of those who signed on to our letter to Governor Heineman and state legislators – urging them to take action to protect prenatal care in Nebraska so that all Nebraska babies have the opportunity to be born healthy.  We have hand-delivered the letter to their offices in Lincoln this morning, and we have posted the letter and those who have signed on as of noon yesterday.

Sign On Letter to Senators 4-1-10

Sign On Letter to the Governor 4-1-10

Although there are no words to express our disappointment in our state’s leaders for failing to put the health of babies over politics, we must express that it is some small consolation to see the outpouring of support for this cause from Nebraskans across the state.  In just 13 days, over 1,300 people signed on to this letter in support of prenatal care for soon-to-be Nebraska babies – that is over 100 signatures PER DAY.  This is an incredible outpouring of support for this issue.  Thank you for using your voice on behalf of babies born healthy in our state.

We have left the sign-on letter open for the time being, so please sign on if you haven’t already and share it with your friends and family.  We will send Governor Heineman and state legislators an updated copy of the letter at the end of the legislative session.
