Why act now and get a toothless Combating Autism Act?

[Guest guest]

The Combating Autism Act as passed by the Senate has nop money for

vaccine research or provisions to include citizens organizations in

research oversight, now Barton wants to take out the minimal amount of

money for environmental research, the Center of Excellence and slash

the total amount of money.

But Joe Barton will no longer be a commitee chair in a few short

weeks. Imus this morning suggested that we would be better off if we

just waited until the Democrats gdet power and then move ahead. I

can't see how the Democrats could be propose anything worse than what

is on the table now.

Why shouldn't we just say " Thanks, but no thanks, " And come back in

January when we have a much better chance of gettting a better bill?
