Subject: Constituent asks for your support of Theresa’s Law

​

Dear Representative [Last Name],

 

I’m a constituent writing to express my strong support for Theresa’s Law, a bipartisan effort to fix dangerous medication practices in Michigan’s Adult Foster Care (AFC) homes. 

 

Despite current rules, unlicensed staff are administering medications without proper training or oversight, putting vulnerable adults at risk. This issue matters deeply to me, and I hope you’ll consider championing legislation that brings transparency, licensed oversight & training, and accountability to these settings. 

 

Theresa’s Law would benefit not only residents and direct care workers, but also the State’s Ombudsman program, AFC homes, and Michigan taxpayers. Right now, Medicaid and Medicare are bearing the cost of preventable harm, avoidable ER visits, hospitalizations, and EMS transports that stem from systemic failures. 

 

I urge you to set aside partisan politics and prioritize this issue. We need leaders with the courage to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Thank you for your time and service. 

 

Respectfully,

[Your Name] 

[Your Address, City, Zip]
