CNN: Autism Questions & Presidential Candidates' Stances on Autism

[Guest guest]

Eventhough one in every 150 children has an Autism Spectrum Disorder

politicians are dreadfully slow to react. I have looked at all the

candidates websites for their stance on Autism. In Dennis Kucinich's

site, I found 2 sentences about some Autism charity work he had done,

but no plan for dealing with the Autism crisis as President.

, however has posted a plan:

No other candidate (Democrat or Republican) appears to have posted

anything on their site about Autism. I know a lot of us have been

sending in Autism related questions for tonight's MSNBC Debate. We

don't have cable, so can someone tell me if they asked an Autism

question of the candidates. BTW, if you want to take a moment to get

more media attention for ASD, CNN is also taking viewer questions:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/11/blitzer-what-should-i-ask-the-de\

mocrats-in-south-carolina/

So you can submit an Autism related question there as well.

One last thing, if any of you have the ability to post to YouTube video

of any discussion from the debate about Autism, that would be much

appreciated by those of us who don't get cable.

Peace be with you!--- Muench Seidel

speaking about Sen. said " ...he was the

single most optimistic person I'd ever known. He honestly believed that

if people of good will put their effort in something; if they worked

hard enough, anything was possible... "

In my heart, I believe that too!
