Even though the DC Autism hearing occurred last week in congress there is still a chance to have your voice heard. You can submit your testimony to be part of the public record.
You have until December 6, 2012 by 5pm EST to submit your testimony. Please email the testimony to: will.boyington@mail.house.gov.
What & when was the DC Autism Hearing?

After submitting your testimony, we have two calls to action for families:
Step One: Call Congressman Darrell Issa and thank him for making the autism hearing possible. Please ask for additional autism hearings. Phone (760) 599-5000.
Step Two: please call your congressional representative and let them know how important future hearings are to your family. Don’t know your congressman? That’s easy! Find your congressman by ZIP Code here: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/. Share your family’s story and testimony. Have your representative contact Congressman Darrell Issa to get involved in future efforts.
This issue is hugely important to our families and the 1 in 88 can no longer wait. Thank you for taking the time to help.
