[Peace] Fwd: Nursing Home Days of Action this Weekend!

[Karen Medina]

Dear Peace,

Below is a forwarded invitation to help canvass for the nursing home this
weekend.

If you have time, please consider canvassing (knocking on doors or phone
calling) for the Champaign County Nursing Home issue...
Saturday, March 25 (today) and Sunday, March 26, 2017
from 1pm-4pm. (You can help for an hour or all three)
(see details of where and the wording on the ballot in the forwarded
message below)

Why do I think canvassing is extremely important?
* The entire county will be voting on the issue, not just the towns of
Champaign and Urbana. This means we need as many people as possible voting.
* We need to educate as many people as possible. Some people may not even
know about the April 4th election, even more people may not know about the
Nursing Home issue.
* Increasing taxes is not easy. In these hard times of the state of
Illinois being way behind on paying its bills, a tax increase could be seem
like a hardship on some people (about $30 for the average home), but in the
long term keeping the nursing home from being privatized will (I believe)
save the people of the county a lot of money.  The county nursing home
takes in people that the privatized nursing homes don't.
* Privatizing services seems to be the way everything is going and people
seem to be willing to let this happen. Because of this privatization, our
county no longer has many of the services every community needs in order to
be healthy. A nursing home for our seniors and recovering patients is one
of those services that is vital; we all benefit from having it. I am
willing to pay to keep it. Once something is privatized, we no longer have
oversight as a community.

Please consider helping to get the word out.

Pace e bene,
