Yesterday I had the priviledge of listening to a speech by Senator Arlen Specter (D-Pennsylvania) where he expressed support for homecare legislation. I had the amazing opportunity to meet with him after he spoke to thank him personally for his support.
I also met with Senator Tom Allen (D-Maine), and representatives from the offices of Massachusetts' Congressmen Lynch, Delahunt, Frank, Neal, and Senator Kennedy. I used my time with them to tell my personal experience as a disabled person who relies on home medical equipment in order to stay active and healthy.
It was incredible to be able to participate in the legislative process, and it is an event that I will never forget.
