Re: Let's Stop Whining About the CAA, Please!

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

That is our intention. Precisely the purpose of our setting up

Combating Autism Act Watch at caawatch.org (under construction). We

need volunteers - " watchers " to conduct surveillance and report - so if

anyone wants to help we need you.

The purpose is make the information available to all parents so we can

engage in intelligent and informed advocacy and not leave it up to a

few IACC " representatives " who fail to report back to the community and

serve only narrow organizational interests.

We already have some people who are very good at " following the money "

and we will publish whatever we find.

Harry, thanks for your comments. I think you are right on the money.

As a matter of fact, watch in the next few days for an exciting

announcement from the Friends of A-CHAMP Research and Education

Project, Inc. regarding our Alan D. , M.D. Memorial Research Fund

and an exciting scientific research project that we are supporting.

I think you will find it interesting and pointed in the right

direction.

We are absolutely not whining about CAA - we are moving on to more

important things that will truly help our kids.

It would be interesting to find out what the head honchos over at

the CDC think about this version of the bill passing, etc. Not that

we would get an honest answer. Some insider info would be cool.

I had such high esteem for these organizations. that I literally

vomited while scraping off their bumper stickers from my car.

Well thank God my Florida Congressman (who I visited during the D.C.

Mercury Rally and who agreed to support the CAA because of my

efforts) didn't vote for the bill afterall. Seems in got into some

trouble regarding Congressional Pages and was in rehab at the time...
