Please Join us for an Ohio Partnership for Prevention action, this Monday, Valentine's day, when we tell the governor and our elected officals: Don't Break My Heart!

The Ohio Partnership for Prevention will be holding a gathering to to draw attention to the massive health care cuts in the governor's budget (15,000 Disability Medical Assistance recipients making $115 a month or less; 25,000 working parents making from 90%-100% of the poverty level who received health care through Medicaid; 800,000 adults who receive vision and dental services; and now it looks like some children receiving services from the Bureau of Children with Mental Handicaps.)

We're going to tell the governor and lawmakers not to break our hearts and cut health care! Raise the tobacco tax instead and invest in health care.

We will be taking medicine bottles with 15,000 candy hearts to the governor's office, Senate offices, and House lawmakers attending the 1 p.m. budget hearing at the Statehouse. We are meeting at the Statehouse Rotunda at noon, and will invite the media to walk with us to the Governor's Ceremonial Office to share our message. Please join us at the Statehouse after the Ohio Partnership for Prevention briefing!
