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. My 7 year old daughter has Autism. 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. John Edwards, 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: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22574335/

Hopefully, MSNBC uses at least one. 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!---Nicole

Elizabeth Edwards speaking about Sen. John Edwards 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!
