Aid to the Needy Disabled "AND" Budget Cut Panel

For	Public; Faculty; Staff; Students; Alumni

More than 45 organizations and hundreds of individuals have united to protest the Governor’s decision to eliminate the only source of support for more than 10,000 of Colorado’s poorest citizens who must cope with a disability that’s rendered them unable to earn a living. Since 1953, Colorado's Governors have preserved the program, a resource of last resort for our neighbors in greatest need. Cutting the Aid to Needy Disabled (AND) Program is a decision that will result in extraordinary humanitarian devastation; skyrocketing costs to municipalities and tax payers in emergency services; and, a multi-million dollar loss to Colorado businesses. According to the Governor's timetable, every AND recipient will stop receiving assistance on January 1, 2010. Please join PISA in hosting policy makers, activists, and politicians from around the state discuss this important topic.
