Hi Friends and Family,
I’m going to ask you to do something very important today, but I’m going to give you an incentive to do it! Please watch the following YouTube Commercial from Autism Speaks and Autism Votes. They are asking that Insurance Discrimination against Autism be eradicated. That is, we want insurance companies to cover autism treatments so all children can get the medical treatments they need to recover from Autism. Without this treatment these children’s futures are very uncertain and to be very blunt, they will cost the US taxpayer more and more as they grow older. Get these children the therapy and help they need now, and they have a significantly better chance of living an independent life! How important is that?!
Watch it Here!
We need YOUR help to make this a reality! “Neighbors” will be broadcast on CNN, MSNBC and CNBC, reaching millions of informed and politically active Americans. Watch our TV Ad. Then, ensure your voice is heard by calling Majority Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi today! ” – from Autism Votes
Now here is what you need to do to get 10 extra chances to win any of my current Giveaways – and I’ll even let you split them up among the contests. After you do the following you can come back here to Matthew’s Puzzle and add up to 10 comments on any or all of my current giveaways. You only get 10 total to split as you wish. You will be required to Label each comment as AV1 through AV10. (Autism Votes 1 though 10). Now please go out and do this. We need as much help as we can get. And I will ask that you do either #1 or #2 as the mandatory entry, # 3 is just a nice extra, but I need you caling and emailing!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

If you aren’t sure of what to say, just say this:
“Hi, My name is _______________. I am calling from (Your city, your state). I want you to know that health care reform that does not stop autism insurance discrimination is unacceptable. People with autism deserve coverage for the treatments and therapies that will help their medical condition. Thank you.”
Be patient. Be polite. Keep dialing until you get through to them. Then do it again.
2. CLICK TO SEND A MESSAGE TO MAJORITY LEADER REID AND SPEAKER PELOSI, URGE THEM TO WATCH THE AUTISM SPEAKS AD AND TO END AUTISM INSURANCE DISCRIMINATION! Make sure to add some personal information on why this is such an important issue for you and your family.

3. FORWARD THIS ACTION ALERT ACROSS THE COUNTRY! Put this action alert on your Facebook page, Twitter it, forward to Yahoo groups and local support groups. Forward this email to at least 20 people that do NOT have a child with autism – neighbors, extended family, coworkers, old college and highschool friends – and ask them to make these two calls every day for your child.
