Sharon... I appreciate you asking that question. It is what I have been

thinking myself. Let's face it...nothing stands alone in Washington. If this

is

included in the Iraq War funding that includes a troop pull-out date then of

course he is going to veto it. Similarly with the SCHIP funding veto...he is

not vetoing the good part...he is vetoing the parts he doesn't agree with and

without the line item veto, the entire bill must be rejected.

It is unfortunate that CAA funding is being vetoed...but until I hear

otherwise I will believe it is only because it is part of something else.

That is what I was wondering also. Being he signed the CAA act, he can't be

against that specifically. I hate the way they try to slip bad things in

with good things. It makes it difficult for the good things to pass.

I agree. Before I started to vote, my dad gave me a great piece of advice:

if one part of a propisition is bad, the whole thing is bad. Vote " no " and

send them (politicians) back to the drawing board. Too many politicians try to

sneak pork barrel projects into these bills!

All the best,

Hello To all concerned parents-I have just read on the autism speaks

website that Bush vetoed the FY 2008 Labor, Health & Human Services

Appropriations Bill! This is the bill titled H.R. 3043 and is the one that

would have provided the FUNDING for the Combating Autism Act!! The autism

speaks site urges all parents to? contact their districts?House of

Representative to vote today, November 15, 2007 Thursday to override this

outrageous veto by Bush!? My son is a patient of Dr. Goldberg's for many

years and my name is Gayle. Good luck to all!!!

Hello again-log onto AutismSpeaks.org to read their latest update on the urgent

need for Congress to override the president's veto. They give a detailed

explanation of why the funding from this bill, which Bush promised to support,

is so important for our kids.
