Dear Congressman Loebsack, thank you so much for your time on February 29 to meet with our RESULTS group. Kate, Kathy, Barbara, Leslee, Polly and I really enjoyed our conversation.
We would like to meet with you twice a year: once in your Cedar Rapids office and a second time in your Washington office during the RESULTS International Conference in July. I will call to make the July appointment.
I just read on your website about your vote for the The Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act and I applaud you. This legislation is sorely needed. I am bipolar and my older brother is schizophrenic. My brother is a Veteran, so his needs are met through the VA. When I was working there was a year that my employer didn't have a contract with the firm my psychiatrist holds his office in, and I paid the doctor fees myself. It was indeed a hardship.
Alicia Trimble followed up with us last Monday about your PEPFAR vote and your testimony before the House Budget Committee on Head Start. Again, thank you for all you good work on Head Start.
The Farm Bill is still being worked on in the conference committee. I hope you can find a moment to talk to one of the House committee members and share with them that the commodity subsidy structure can be reformed so that more money is available for the Nutrition Title.
Thanks again for making us proud to be from Iowa's Second District.
