| Lonnie (Respiratory Therapist, MG) presenting a flyer to a staff person. Lonnie spoke convincingly about the effect healthcare cuts would have on the Med-Cal patients she treats. |
 |
|
| A positive moment on the tour: Assembly Member Thomas Calderon meeting with us and assuring us of his support for the Senate version of the budget. |
 |
|
| Since he was so supportive, Assembly Member Calderon rates two photos with this appreciative group of healthcare workers! |
 |
|
| Not such a happy moment: Assembly Member Jay L Suer's staff earned the rating "highly negative" and lectured us on the necessity of cuts/not taxes as a budget philosophy. Even if the budget were about dollars only, (as opposed to choices about what kind of world you want to live in), we in healthcare know it is not good economics to have those without healthcare using the Emergency Room as their doctor. |

| Out of yet another elevator and into the next office. That's our field representative's daughter, Chardonnay, on the right. She is receiving a full education in union action! |
 |
|
| Senator Liz Figueroa receiving a flyer and a thank you from Lonnie et al. Senator Figueroa voted YES for the Senate budget and kindly stopped her work to meet with us. |

| SEIU Local 250 Field Rep Josie Summers observed by her daughter, Chardonnay, as she signs the guest book in Assembly Member Herb Wesson's office. Assembly Member Wesson received a thank you from our group for supporting the Senate version of the budget. |
