Subject We've got President Obama's attention

Our best chance in over a decade to make a real difference!

Please Help Us Make President Obama's Autism Priorities a Reality for All Affected by Autism!

Dear ,

Our new president has outlined his national disabilities agenda - and
autism is the only condition highlighted specifically!

We've never had an opportunity as good as this in recent
history, we may never have one like it again.

Summary of the Obama Administration's Autism Agenda:
1. Increased funding for research, treatment screenings, awareness,
and support.
2. Improved life-long services for children and adults with ASD.
3. Fund the Combating Autism Act to improve federal/state autism
programs.
4. Universal safe, secure ASD screenings for infants and 2-year-olds.
To read the Autism Agenda in its entirety, visit whitehouse.gov.

The Autism Society of America, the nation's leading grassroots
autism organization, helped focus Obama's attention on our cause
when we invited him and fellow candidate John McCain to speak at last
July's ASA Town Meeting on Health Care.
