Subject: Protect Section 504 & Medicaid – A Constituent’s Request

Dear Representative [Last Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent in [Your City, State]. I am writing to urge you to protect Section 504 and Medicaid, which provide essential support for millions of disabled Americans, including students, workers, veterans, and seniors.

I personally [or: My family member/friend] rely on [504/Medicaid] because [briefly share your personal experience]. Without these protections, [describe the negative impact—such as loss of access to education, healthcare, or independence].

Cutting these programs would force people out of school, out of jobs, and into crisis. Disability rights are human rights, and we need leaders who will protect them. I ask that you publicly commit to:

✅ Opposing any efforts to weaken Section 504, ensuring disabled students and workers continue receiving the accommodations they need.
✅ Blocking Medicaid cuts, which would strip away life-saving healthcare and critical support services.

This is not a partisan issue—it is about ensuring that all Americans, regardless of ability, have access to education, healthcare, and the resources they need to thrive. I would appreciate a response detailing your position on these issues, as this is a matter of great importance to me and my community.

Thank you for your time and leadership. I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your City, State, ZIP Code]
