Susan Brooks finally agreed to hold these town halls and committed to protecting our healthcare access. This victory belongs to every single one of you who refused to let her ignore us. We will be watching closely to ensure she keeps her word.

Final supporters
We, women of Indiana and supporters of these women, call upon Representative Susan Brooks to extend her connection with her constituents and her commitment to women through the following actions:
1) Holding at least 3 Town Hall meetings in Indiana over the course of 2017. The direct large-audience discourse will help women understand Rep. Brooks' positions, and share their concerns in a group manner.
2) Making a promise that she will work to uphold the level of women's healthcare provided currently under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In other words, we ask not to go backwards in terms of women's health care. This includes working to ensure continuation of the following services without co-payment or coinsurance (as listed at https://www.healthcare.gov/preventive-care-women/):
- For women pregnant or seeking to become pregnant: breastfeeding support (including supplies) and counseling; contraception; folic acid supplements; screening for anemia, gestational diabetes, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, Rh incompatibility, Syphilis, urinary tract or other infections; tobacco intervention and counseling.
- Preventative services for women: breast cancer mammography; screening for cervical cancer, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV, HPV, osteoporosis, Rh incompatibility, Syphilis, tobacco use, domestic and interpersonal violence; counseling for breast cancer genetic testing, breast cancer chemoprovention, domestic and interpersonal violence, HIV, sexually transmitted infections; tobacco use interventions; and well-woman visits.
We make these requests based on our commitment to the well-being of all Hoosiers.

We just hit 250 signatures and Susan Brooks remains silent while she ignores the health needs of Indiana women. She thinks she can hide from us but this momentum proves she is running out of places to duck.

You need to spend some time with women who have little means and see if you still think that women don;t need the ACA and Planned Parenthood, I would like to believe that women of lower economic means are also important to you,
I am your constituent, and a physician for children. The ACA has given them better health care. Do not take away their healthcare. Once we actually see a Republican plan,we can judge if it is better
I sincerely hope a "better way" is a better way and includes women's health care and pre-existing conditions including breast cancer. It is a matter of life and death for many women.
I actually believe three town hall meetings are a minimum. Rep Andre Carson holds them much more frequently. Given that you represent all of us, I would hope and expect that you would publicly listen and discuss with us at least 5 times in 2017. Looking forward to seeing these dates confirmed.
I have had a great deal of difficulty getting timely, on-topic responses to my concerns from Rep. Brooks's office. I would happily attend town hall meetings with adequate time for questions and candid responses.
Please uphold the level of women's healthcare provided currently under the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
Put women's health and well-being before politics!

I am a registered voter in the Northern Marion County part of the district. Meetings in Zionsville are not convenient. If I drive that far I expect a town hall meeting with adequate time for questions and adequate room for parking.
