THE “I PUSHED FOR OUT-OF-HOSPITAL MATERNITY CARE" PETITION

Please sign this petition- in the link below- in support of including Certified Professional Midwives and out-of-hospital maternity care in federal healthcare reform Today!

http://tinyurl.com/Support-CPMs-Petition

It is so very important for us to show members of Congress (who are drafting bills this week!) that there is widespread support for CPMs and OOH maternity care across our country.

If you are a midwife, please send to your clients since they will always be the biggest supporters.  Please post to other groups.  We want to raise the roof with 10,000 signatures.  Do your part and sign today and forward it on to others

Incorporating CPMs into federal health care reform is something that both Democrats AND Republicans have been able to get behind in Washington.  They understand it will not only save lots of money, but also improve the health of mothers and babies.
 

Don't know who your legislators are?  Don't feel bad! You aren't the only one.  Here is an easy way to find out.  Just follow the link, put in your zip code and voila! Tell me who my legislators are. Write their names down so you can talk with them when you are at the Capitol.

For more information about writing letters and/or testimony, please visit Citizens for Midwifery (CfM) and check out the "Anyone Can Write to their Legislator" section.  NARM has also made their Legislative Handbook available on the web.  You can download the manual from their webpage.
