Babs Johnson Lead Organizer, ADAPT
201 South Cherokee
Denver, CO 80223

Dear Ms. Johnson:

The 1.5 million member Service Employees international Union (SEIU) — including our 200,000 home and community-based workers -- endorses the MICASSA legislation (S 1298 and H.R. 3612).

We join with ADAPT, as we have many times, to call on states, Congress and the Administration to expand consumer-directed attendant services that provide real choices to consumers and good jobs for attendants.

In California, Illinois, Oregon, and most recently in Washington State, SEIU members have worked in partnership with ADAPT to make improvements in publicly funded consumer-directed services and supports.

We pledge our continued support for efforts to improve the lives and choices of people with disabilities, and we hope to work with you and your organization in the future to expand opportunities for independent living and jobs with dignity.

We look forward to meeting with you and your representatives.
