[quote="Roxas_XIII"][quote="Psycho_jimmy"]Why are all the candidates puppets? Really, putting an idiot in charge of a super-power. You think the U.S. would have learned their lesson... I don't like Clinton; she's a femenist bitch who's only in politics because of her connections. Obama has no international concept whatsoever, and McCain is a nut. And a frozen chips brand. There are intelligent people in America, I'm sure - where are they hiding? Oh, wait - if they are smart, they'd have stayed away from politics. Answered my own question.[/quote] There are intelligent people in America, but unfortunately they are a minority, and as such, don't have the majority vote that is held by the VIP (Village Idiots Party) My U.S. history teacher says we should regulate the vote based on people's intelligence. I for one agree with him. Deny the ignorant stupid people the right to vote, and see how fast this country pulls out of its continuing downward spiral.[/quote]

As diagnostic criteria broaden and awareness increases, more cases of ASD have been recognized across the country. Barack Obama believes we need to research treatments and search for the causes of ASD. He has been a strong supporter of more than $1 billion in federal funding for ASD research on the root causes and treatments. Obama believes we must work to guarantee that Americans with ASD can live independent and fully productive lives and to assure that their families understand and are able to support a loved one with ASD. Obama will fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to ensure that no child with ASD or any other disability is left behind. Obama will also fight to assure that the government and our communities work together to provide a helping hand to people with ASD and their families. <br /> <br /> Obama has a long record supporting people with ASD. In the state senate, Obama sponsored legislation that became law to create the ASD Program - a systems development initiative designed to promote the implementation of evidence-based practices. And in the U.S. Senate, Obama is also a cosponsor of a measure that would expand federal funding for life-long services for people with ASD, authorizing approximately $350 million in new federal funding for key programs related to treatments, interventions and services for both children and adults with ASD.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I found this through the Autism bulletin.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />Good thing that I'm supporting Obama. <br />Obama has the right ideas and beliefs about us.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />Horse puckey!

The Wrong Planet PAC, because bribes are the system. <br /> <br />Fellow Feringi! What will the next Grand Negus think of us, if we do not donate to his cause now! <br /> <br />We do not have many votes, so there is only one way we can speak. <br /> <br />A lot of money does get spent on us, and we are letting others have the say where. <br /> <br />The smallest noticable bribe is $2500. We spot Alex some money, he has a check to wave, and win, lose, or settled by the Supreme Court, Alex is a player. <br /> <br />Only Pawns play for free, power pieces have a check, and pay to play. <br /> <br />If the horse he picks loses, Alex is still a player, once on the doner list, you become real in D.C. <br /> <br />Doners get invitations, this Board, that Comittie, and WP may be 100,000 or more in four years. <br /> <br />On the second part, where I agree with Nutbag, I love visiting with you all, but we do nothing. <br /> <br />We should have some service role. Our best is in helping parents, Smelena says so, and no one crosses her! We do need it sorted, and she would be great, at least a pamphlet, <br /> <br />"What I learned from Autistics, about raising Autistics." <br /> <br />There are printing costs, mailing, but some free help goes a long way in changing public opinion. <br /> <br />Wrong Planet wins the Autistic vote, but parents go to Autisim Speaks, because they advertise. <br /> <br />It is called Propaganda, and you will not change public opinion without it. <br /> <br />Cure-Anti-Cure, we lose. A Cure would be good, but, until one is found, here is what you can do that has been proven to help. <br /> <br />Most people do not understand science, the reasons a cure is highly unlikely. You cannot argue with ignorance. They want to do something, and there are non-life threating treatments that do work. <br /> <br />Herding, you slowly move the herd in a direction. Once they are thinking treatment, you win. <br /> <br />It is what I am doing now, getting you to see that we must act as one, make choices, and provide service, if we want to be considered to be reasonable people who are trying to help. <br /> <br />I do not look to Autism Speaks, or the next President, to promote Alex and his message, that is for us to do. <br /> <br />This is not a NonProfit, or a Private Club, it is an open door for us to show that we are real, useful, helpful, and there are millions of us. <br /> <br />We have an issue that bonds us very strongly, we cannot quit, join another party or religion, we are lifers. <br /> <br />I sent a copy of squier's book to Smelena, because I knew of nothing better. She found it helpful. <br />He wrote a first person view from thirteen, it is real. <br /> <br />We have the materials, the people, and it is our lives we make better, and the millions like us. <br /> <br />So click on, Support Wrong Planet Awareness, and send Alex the power to keep this going.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
