<p class="MsoNormal">On <b>April 4</b>, Champaign County voters will vote in referenda
to decide whether to save our Champaign County Nursing Home. On <b>March 22</b>,
Champaign County Democrats will vote on whether to endorse the referenda campaign
to save our nursing home. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When the Vermillion County nursing home was privatized, the
new management dramatically cut the staff, contradicting promises they had made
to county officials. [1] Three years later, the nursing home was being cited by
the state for life-threatening abuses. [2] Over the years, the Champaign County
nursing home has tended to thousands of residents. [3] But now, the Champaign
County Chamber of Commerce wants to privatize our nursing home. [4]. We know
where this would lead: more cuts in services for people who need them. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Urge Members of the Champaign County Democratic Central
Committee to vote on March 22 to endorse the referenda campaign to save our
nursing home by <b><a href="http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/champaigncodems-vote?r_by=1135580">signing our petition at MoveOn</a>:<span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><br></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><a href="http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/champaigncodems-vote?r_by=1135580">http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/champaigncodems-vote?r_by=1135580</a><br></b></p>
