[Guest guest]

07/27/09 Autism Votes... It's time for lawmakers to listen.

Dear Autism Advocate,Thank you so much for all of your hard work over the last few weeks as you have continued to call, email, and fax Speaker Pelosi´s office. THIS JUST IN!...House Speaker Pelosi has heard you loud and clear! We are now in a very constructive dialogue with the Speaker's office about the importance of ending autism insurance discrimination. Thank you again for your patience, your perseverance and for recruiting your friends and family to make these calls. Here is How YOU Can Help: 1. IT'S TIME TO STOP CALLING SPEAKER PELOSI. We will be refocusing our efforts shortly so PLEASE STAY TUNED to our emails! For right now we need all calls, faxes, and emails going to the Speaker´s office to stop! 2. SPREAD THE WORD! Tell everyone you asked to call "thank you so much" and that you will keep them posted on next steps!Thank you again for all your hard work. Stay tuned for more
