Help some Military Families if You Can

[tidewaterjc]

A critical vote is scheduled this afternoon in the U.S. Senate Armed Services Commitee to help military families caring for dependents with autism! Your state's U.S. Senator (and possibly both) serve on the committee. We need you to call your Senator(s) and urge them to vote YES for Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's amendment in support of military kids with autism.

The vote will be held in the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee starting at 2 o'clock EST today (Wednesday) on amendments to the new Defense bill. Senator Gillibrand's amendment is similar to one approved last week in the U.S. House of Representatives which would greatly improve access to autism insurance benefits for Department of Defense military members.

Here's your chance to help our military families! Call your U.S. Senator's office now! It will take only a minute and make a big difference!
