Advocacy, the easy way
posted in Autism |
Ok, so I have no love for Autism Speaks, but in this case, I totally agree with them.
Bush vetoed an important bill that had Autism funding on it, and there is a move to override the veto. If you have a second, Autism Speaks has a form that will automatically direct your email to the proper representative to let them know you support the override.

I filled out the form. Hope they will override the veto!
Bush, veto a bill that could be useful? How shocking!
I’m not crazy about AS, either. I’m going to read that link now, though.
Is there some way to find out why he vetoed that bill?
I support any group that fights for services for individuals with developmental disabilities. I visited the above link and sent my letter off along with emails to my friends and family asking them for support as well. Let’s hope Congress fights harder for this override than they did for the Children’s Health Care bill Bush previously vetoed. What are the odds?
