JOIN US:       Click here to view a plain text version of this email   Dear David, We’re still abuzz from the day when we hit the streets and rallied for the NDIS all around Australia. It’s a moment you can be proud of. The disability community came together as never before to demand action on the NDIS. But we can’t stop now. Will you ask at least 10 friends to join the campaign before Tuesday’s federal budget? At our Sydney rally, the Prime Minister reminded the crowd that it was important to keep up the campaign. We all know anything can happen in politics, and we must keep up the momentum until the NDIS is legislated. We want to reach our goal of 200,000 supporters by the end of the year, to show our politicians that we won’t go away, we won’t let this moment pass. Download our new postcards or sign up sheets from the website and use them to ask another 10 people to come on board and change the lives of people with disabilities in this country. We have come so far and we have done it together. And together we WILL Make it Real. Thank you all for your support, and a special thank you to everyone who was able to attend the Make it Real rally on Monday. The Every Australian Counts Campaign Team www.everyaustraliancounts.com.au P.S. Tim McCallum rocked the crowd at the Sydney rally - watch it on YouTube. And remember to add your rally photos to the albums on Facebook so everyone can see.

Signing-up at the above web site will assist the productivity
Commission in arriving at the correct solution for future funding of
rehabilitation and prosthetics for our amputee community.  Please
take  the few minutes required and include yourselves in this
solution.   Thanks.      David Rothwell/Secretary
Amputee Association of NSW Inc.
