RE: THE POWER OF ONE! - DAY ON CAPITOL HILL

[Guest guest]

Is there a texas representative or two? If so, has anyone thought about

getting on the Interagency COuncil on Autism and PDD?

Also, I sure would love to hear if anyone was able to get into kay 's

office in Washington.

THE POWER OF ONE! - DAY ON CAPITOL HILL

On Sunday, April 21, 2002, thousands of people from across the USA will

gather in Washington, DC for The Power of ONE! I.D.E.A. National Autism

Awareness Rally. In a continued effort to bring the issues of autism to the

forefront of national dialogue, on Friday, April 19th, 2002, Unlocking

Autism

will be hosting a brief political training session regarding current autism

issues before Congress and then attendees will go to previously scheduled

appointments to meet with politicians and staff on Capitol Hill.

The first step in bringing about change is to let the leaders of your state

and nation know who you are, what your needs are and why you need their

help.

A relationship through phone calls or emails is essential to establish a

rapport and open the door to a collaborative working relationship. For this

reason, we will expect you to contact your representatives in advance. We

will provide you with the tools you need to make this process easier.

The meetings you attend on Friday, April 19th, will have a far greater

impact

if they know who you are, when to expect you in their office and the purpose

of the meeting.

Your registration fee of $35.00 will include a pre-registration packet

mailed

to your home that will include: a t-shirt, guidelines for contacting

political offices and scheduling meetings, locations to meet others from

your

state, a list of all representatives from your state, a summary of issues

that are pertinent to the autism community right now, and a detailed map and

directories of Capitol Hill offices.

Help us help everyone in the autism community by participating in this

exciting event!

We can't wait to see you in DC!

There are five Texas representatives for Unlocking Autism. I am one. I'm not

sure if any of the group is planning on attending. Just thought I'd answer part

of your question.
