The Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act

It only takes a few seconds of your time. STAND UP for mothers and families coping with postpartum depression. EMAIL your name (and any affiliations you may have) to POEM or to Susan Stone today. Our Senators must know that Ohio supports the MOTHERS Act. Please read on:

From Susan Stone-
This bill will provide funding for a wide variety of supportive services for mothers and families suffering from these illnesses; with healthcare reform a major part of the senate dialogue over these next few weeks, it is very important that our issue not be lost. We are going to send the listings to all U.S. Senators the week of Mothers Day. The list will be maintained until the legislation is passed, so you don't have to do this again!

The actual bill can be read, and listings of state by state support can be viewed at http://www.perinatalpro.com/ppdlegislation/listingofsupporters.html
