Dear Florida Autism Advocate,
 
We have been making good headway in the Florida House on HB 1291.  Now we need to work on our State Senators.  Senate Bill 2654, which is identical to HB 1291, NEEDS TO PASS in order for autism insurance reform to become state law!  The Florida State Senate will be voting on this bill on Wednesday or Thursday of this week and we all need to MAKE SURE THEY VOTE YES!!
 
WHAT CAN YOU DO TODAY?
 
1.  CALL YOUR STATE SENATOR. Don't know who your state senator is?  Simply visit the Resources page of the Autism Votes website, type in your address, and you can find out who your state senator is and the phone number you need to MAKE THE CALL TODAY!
 
2.  EMAIL YOUR STATE SENATOR urging him/her to vote YES on SB 2654!
 
3.  FORWARD THIS EMAIL ALERT to your friends and family and get them to Take Action for Florida too!
 
Autism Speaks is committed to the principles of House Bill 1291.  We are disappointed in what we have seen so far proposed by the Speaker's Special Committee, and we remain fully engaged in improving the proposed bill. Let’s focus on the Senate right now, and stay tuned for more information on the House bill in the coming days. 
 
Thank you!
