Shameful Autism Vote

The Oklahoma House has shamed the state. A House committee vote has killed Nick's Law for at least two years and left the INSURED parents of autistic kids to bear the full cost of their kids' treatment themselves. <

Ron Black has described it better than I can in his Wednesday, February 4 article. Read it and weep.

The only imaginable good news is that, over the long term, hypocrisy and wrongdoing of this magnitude seldom escape revision followed by retribution.

Pray for the perpetrators of this deed. They'll need all the help they can get when the consequences of their action come home to roost.

In disgust,

Prof. Oates

Chasity	I am just sick over it! Just absolutely sick. I've been reading all the articles from all the different news stations and I just can't believe they didn't even TRY to hear it out. Posted by Chasity on 06 Feb 09 Friday - 22:22 [Reply to this] [Remove] [Block User]

Thank you for your thoughts and support. They are finding out that we are not going quietly. Senator Gumm, Rep Mike Brown and others continue to fight for these kids. The GOP continues to maneuver and block this at every turn no matter what truth is placed in front of them. Giving up is not an option. If anyone reading this would like to help - call your State Senator, House Rep, and ask them to join the fight for our kids with Autism. They may say the bill is "dead", but rules can be changed, options are still available. If they happen to be Republican, ask them if they dare be the first Oklahoma Republican to stand up on the floor during a session and fight for our kids. As far as I know, so far there has not been one willing to going against Republican leadership. Shameful. Posted by Laurie on 28 Apr 09 Tuesday - 22:39
