I tried sharing this directly from the email but it isnt letting me. Please help!!! 1 in 68 children are affected by this and how much time will it actually take you? You might even be able to do it while youre waiting in line at McDonalds or to dump your truck! ;) July 14, 2014 Dear Allison, Thats right! In just 78 days the landmark Combating Autism Act will expire and with it the loss of $260 million a year in federal funding for critical autism research, prevalence monitoring and training of medical professionals. Fortunately, there is now a bill before Congress -- Autism CARES-- that would keep the funding going another five years! The bill has passed the U.S. House of Representatives and now just needs to clear the Senate! Call your states 2 United States Senators and urge them to co-sponsor and support S.2994, Autism CARES! Americas 1 in 68 kids with autism cant wait! Here is How YOU Can Help: 1) MAKE THOSE CALLS! We have to Take 5 to advocate every day and make 2 quick phone calls, one to each of your U.S. Senators. Our Autism Champions system makes it easy to do this. Go HERE to reach your Senators. 2) ENGAGE YOUR FRIENDS! Be sure that every time you take action that you also ask others to call through your favorite form of social media. Dont skip that crucial step when you dial in through Autism Champions. Only post on social media after you have taken action yourself first! Tell Congress that America cant afford to lose autism funding! Happy dialing!
