Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hi everyone, I have a long time friend in North Carolina that is running for a seat in the House in the 3rd Congressional District by the name of ny Rouse. After he heard about what we were going through with our son it got him thinking about it and he has decided to take on autism. When he called me and told me all this and asked me to give him all the details of what's going on in the autism world (all the controversy, the alternative medicine, vaccines, etc) I remember telling him that he better be sure this is what he wants to take on and the political and media ramifications that can follow but he was all about moving right along with it. He's an honest guy, agrees with all that we do, hates Big Pharma and no, he is not rich. He's a career politician and he's always been in the local arena and is trying to move up to state level. He's a conservative democrat running unopposed in the primary and he'll be up against Walter . He's a politician that actually cares. He called me today to ask me about what he heard on NPR about the NVICP crap going down right now. We had a long conversation and let me sum up his basic viewpoint, " If there's an error to be made, I'll always err on the side of the children. If it's wrong, it's wrong but it'll be on the kids' side [not big pharma, the CDC, medical community, etc.]. " So to get to the point of all of this, he is asking for footage of kids with autism to put together for some press. You don't have to send anything that emphasizes behaviors or anything like that, kids being kids is fine. Just whatever you want to send. I'll have releases for you to sign if you send in footage. My husband is going to be editing the video for him so if you could send it to me, that would be great. It won't be a long video so it needn't be hours. Just some short clips if you have any you wouldn't mind sending. Anywhere on the autism spectrum, no restrictions or qualifications. If you have any questions, please just ask. As for who he is: www.rouseforhouse.com I don't live in NC so I can't vote for him. But I hope that those of you that live in his district will listen to what he has to say in the coming weeks - he's got some big things happening. You'll like it. And you'll see all the kids in the video! Cheryl ~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com~ ~@midian42~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
