[Update 1/27/09 - It's crunch time! Go read this update!]
While I was feeling a little wait-and-see earlier today about what we’d be able to accomplish legislatively for autism, special education, and disabilities in general in this economic climate, I just discovered there’s plenty of hope to go around! But we must act now!
The much-talked-about Stimulus Package before Congress has in some of its current forms many funding opportunities for federal investment in disabilities programs! Read the Justice for All blog for more information, and then head over to The Arc for a ready-made letter you can send to your Congresspeople.
Better yet, find your Representatives and Senators and call or send them a note personally!
The time is now! This is a major opportunity for us, so get writing!!
Oh, and do it for my cute, snowy, happy kid who refuses to wear gloves!
