This enables them to better represent their constituents (us). You can contact them personally, by telephone; FAX, letter or you can e-mail them using these links. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! People with disabilities represent approximately 25% of our voting population! We at CILNM would like to take a moment and thank our legislators for their support. People with disabilities in Minnesota have received support from our elected officials in both word and deed.  Our legislators continue to increase funding,  provide for legislation and support collaborative efforts between CILs and State agencies that allow people with disabilities to live as independently as possible in the communities of their choice. If you get the opportunity please thank them for their support.
