Plus per American Autism Soc. some Senators are trying to add

amendments that would be detrimental for our kids to the IDEA

legislation. This is contridictory to Bush's stance of leaving no

child behind. Please call Sen. Jeff Sessions (AL-R) and Sen. Bond

(MO-R) at and Sen Bond press secretary at .

Their proposed legislation would allow our kids to stay segregated if

they have behavior or disclipine problems. If you need more info

please contact Unlock Autism or Austims Society of America for

additional info.

This is an opportunity for us to advocate for all our kids

nationwide. Thanks
