North Carolina Friends of Midwives: Action alert

Subject: ACTION Alert

We are working on securing sponsorship for our bill. The legislators below are the ones we are hoping to get as sponsors. If you live in the county represented by any of the legislators listed below, PLEASE e-mail and/or call the legislators below letting them know that:

- NC needs Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) to be licensed here like they are in VA, SC, and TN

- It is a safely issue because many NC homebirthing families do not have access to midwifery care

- Include any details about why it is important for your family

- Ask them to please sponsor legislation licensing and regulating CPMs

Also, please forward this action alert to friends, clients, etc…who might live in one of the counties listed below asking them to write to legislators.

Thanks! Let's get this done in 2011!
