Political Action Alert 09/28/06

Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 10:37:07 -0700

We need 12 more cosponsors of the Combating Autism Act Today!!

We have 2 more days before recess! Let's get a majority today!

Please drop what you're doing and call your congressman today! We

currently have 206 House members cosponsoring the house version, HR

2421. We need 218 cosponsors, a majority, in the next 2 days to give us

our best shot at quick passage in the House! That's 12 more

cosponsors-we can do it!!

We need your help today! Please call your Congressman today and ask them

to cosponsor HR2421. Their " support " or their " vote " is not enough-tell

them you need their cosponsorship now! Go to www.combatautism.org to

find your Representative and their telephone number to make your call.

If your Congressman is already listed as cosponsoring, no action is

needed, but you can call and thank them for their support.  If they are

not listed as a cosponsor, here's what you can do to help:

Call your Representative's Washington office immediately. Go

to www.combatautism.org to get your Congressmen's contact information.

Ask to speak to the Health Staffer. If you get voicemail, leave a

message asking them to call you back. If you reach the staffer, tell him

or her that you are a constituent, that the Combating Autism Act of 2006

passed the Senate by Unanimous Consent, and you are asking your

Congressman to join the 206 existing House sponsors of HR2421 and the US

Senate as a cosponsor.

Tell them that 206 Congressman are already cosponsoring, including any

from your state that are already cosponsors. Let them know we expect the

Combating Autism Act of 2006 to pass this session, therefore you are

asking for your congressman's immediate support as a cosponsor. Let them

know they can get more information about the Combating Autism Act from

the Combat Autism website at www.combatautism.org.

Tell them that to become a cosponsor of HR.2421, they can call Taryn

Keyworth in Congresswoman Bono's office at 202-225-5330 or

Cohen in Congresswoman DeGette's office at 202-225-4431. Ask them

to call you back at your number and let you know if you can count on

your Representative to cosponsor the legislation.

Let us know what you heard! Contact us on the www.combatautism.org

website if they give you a clear " yes " or " no " to co-sponsorship, or any

other information they might have given you. If you have been told your

congressman will cosponsor ( " support " or " vote for " is not enough), and

they are not already listed as a cosponsor, please email Success Stories

on the www.combatautism.org website. We need to know what they are

saying to you, their constituent!

Thank you for your support! For complete information about the Combating

Autism Act of 2006, or to contact us, go to www.combatautism.org.
