I received an E-mail this morning from some time commenter JoeG informing me about S.843 Combating Autism Act of 2005.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>This email came from my daughter, XXXXXX and we are concerned about autism because my Grandson, 8 year old XXXXXXX has it. The number for Sen. Burns is 1-800-344-1513 and the number for Sen. Baucus is 1-800-332-6106. Or you can email them with the link. Thank You for your support, Joe<br />n<br />n<b>original message</b><br />nI just took action on S.843 known as the "Combating Autism Act 2005." This is critical legislation that can only get passed by the support of the Senate. Please take 2 to 5 minutes to email, call, and fax your US Senator and ask them to co-sponsor S.843.<br />nTo take action on this issue, click on the link below:<br />nhttps://secure2.convio.net/aen/site/Advocacy?s_oo=EooQZ0y16jmPLhYs3lnipg..&id=121<br />nIf the text above does not appear as a link or it wraps across multiple lines, then copy and paste it into the address area of your browser. </blockquote> <br />n<br />nThe link given in the E-mail takes you to <a href="https://secure2.convio.net/aen/site/Advocacy?s_oo=EooQZ0y16jmPLhYs3lnipg..&id=121" target="_new">Autism Education Network</a> which talks about the bill. Do with the information what you want but I am getting a hold of my Senators with my opinion and support of the issue. Whether my son can be helped with increased funding I don't know but more reasearch into the issue might keep people in the future from having to deal with this. Having experienced the effects of autism in my son that is a worthy goal to work for.<br />n<br />n<b>Striving toward a goal puts a more pleasing construction on our advance toward death. Mason Cooley</b><br />n<br />nJOE, I hope you don't mind me sharing the information in the way I did. Let me know if there is a problem.
