State Budget Cuts Loom!

Get Involved NOW!
 

CAADAC needs your urgent attention regarding budget negotiations that are going on at the State Capitol right now! California's budget has reached a historic level (over a $40 billion deficit  predicted for the next 18 months). There will be waves of cuts to all levels of government. No category is safe! Legislators are hearing from all of their constituents. At this time, the AODA voice needs to be loud and clear. We have to convince legislators that cutting AODA services will actually increase our state's level of debt because the cost of not treating addiction is higher than treating it.

There are two action steps you can take to help CAADAC raise awareness and ward off cuts. We can not afford to be silent!  By Monday evening, CAADAC would like every person on its grassroots database to do the following:

Print the petition and distribute it to all colleagues, clients, family members and concerned citizens for their signature. Fax the signed petition to the CAADAC office, at (916)368-9424. (The petition is available on the CAADAC website click here!

Write a letter urging support for AODA funding.  Use the editable letter below (or if reading this in email format, click the "take action" button toward the top of the email to your right -blue font.)

Thank you for your support and efforts.

Sincerely,

 CAADAC Legislative Committee
