The media said Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) was long winded, but Wendy Davis the State Senator in TX who filibustered the abortion bill was a folk hero. This media bias is really getting annoying. Please let me know what you think. Andrew
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Tuesday and Wednesday spent more than 21 straight hours on the Senate floor making his case to his Senate colleagues and the American people for de-funding of ObamaCare. Most mainstream media outlets criticized the Texas senator’s speech.
Cruz’s talk – not technically a filibuster – got bombarded with negative reports by the big three networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC). Scott Whitlock, senior news analyst for Media Research Center, says those networks derided the conservative uprising against ObamaCare, mocking the freshman senator and calling his speech a “bizarre, long-winded protest” against funding the healthcare law.
“Though they’re actually covering Ted Cruz this time, their response to ObamaCare and all the problems with ObamaCare – other than what Ted Cruz said – has been largely to ignore it,” he reports. “They’ve ignored the problems with implementation; they’ve ignored the problems with the one-year delay of the mandate.”
Open message for Alexander and Corker. Tennessee is still a place where your “word” is still important – a place where God, Country, and Constitution still matter, be it democrat or republican.
I recall a very nice straight talking man in a plaid shirt stumping from county to county in areas where you had to hunt hard to find a republican. I remember a wife gathering people together to hear this man speak, and later with many others to elect a republican. No one believed it would happen! These are many of the same old people who founded the Tea Party that your current senate leader Reed regularly slanders. The plaid shirt symbolized opportunity and freedom with as little government tax and intrusion as possible. Those are old Tennessee traits common to democrats and republicans alike, years ago and today.. Well the plaid shirt is gone; and freedom, wealth, morality, and hope disappeared with it.
Then Corker came along with the same messages, and we elected him, and many others with the same message. We now find both of you and your republican establishment in control and on a mission of destroying The US… a war on God, country, and Constitution! I’m sure both of you are aware that Tennessee has had its share of corruption, and equally aware that unlike Chicago we aggressively prosecute and jail corrupt politicians, be it governors, legislators, judges, or anyone with sticky fingers and lying ways. They’re people you knew at one time or another. Spending money without a budget, without AICPA levels of internal control with checks and balances is a crime in Tennessee that regularly results in heavy fines and jail, as can be verified by many who didn’t believe it. Both of you have approved near unlimited executive spending without budget or semblance of internal control. Effects on this country over the past five years are catastrophic!
Now, you’re maligning and mocking the few patriots willing to say no to more of the same and worse corruption. We have more acts of treason being condoned and backpedaled than any time in history! You say you are against the most corrupt and cost killing bill ever conceived, yet you will act to fund it, as you vote to approve another perhaps trillion dollars of zero controlled executive spending that openly funds weapons of war for terrorists that are avowed enemies of the state (TREASON). Who do you owe your allegiance to? It certainly isn’t the citizens of Tennessee or the USA.
Next Friday, at or before 11:30 a.m. CST, the decision on oral argument in the Barack Obama eligibility case now under deliberation in the Alabama Supreme Court could come down.
Quote of the day by Senator Dianne Feinstein:
Dianne Feinstein: "All vets are mentally ill in some way and government should prevent them from owning firearms"
Yep, - she really said it on Thursday in a meeting in front of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, and the quote below from the LA Times is priceless.
Sometimes even the L.A. Times gets it right.
Kurt Nimmo from the Los Angeles Times:
"Senator Feinstein insults all U.S. Veterans as she flays about in a vain
attempt to save her anti-firearms bill." "Frankly, I don't know what it is
about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really
obnoxious women to high office. I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we're Number One. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth." "The four of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words."

I stand amid the cultural wreckage of a community & country who thought throwing the baby ( traditional values ) out with the bath water ( old bias ) would usher in utopia!
Far from utopia I see the grim visions of Mad Max & Escape From New York having become common place within increasing sectors of urban society.
My role is simple: sift the wreckage of empire Americana until the spirit of her greatness once again rises to the fore!
Her embattled civic culture, tattered by socialists and nihilists alike, still provides a breath taking common ground where anyone can function so long as he adheres to its values.
Contrary to the grievance mongers eternal complaint, this same civic culture they've beaten into wreckage can save the waning day if only we embrace it anew!
Some may say if Americana is now wreckage, what hope remains? The hope is the spirit has not yet vacated said wreckage.
The spirit of Americana is told in the stories of various groups united beneath her banner!
I can look at aboriginal peoples, pilgrims, slaves, confederates, abolitionists, legal immigrants from around the globe and their free progeny and know the spirit of Americana vacates this wreckage only if we fail to make this reclamation our top priority.
The wreckage of Americana has a spirit within her ruins which still over shadows other lands.
Will you help rebuild the wreckage of Americana... from within, using her vacated values as ( re-) building blocks?

To win, Capitol Hill Republicans in the House must ‘stay firm’, take Harry Reid’s CR, ‘re-attach’ defunding ObamaCare, and return it to the Senate.
In the end, the Republican Party ‘will win’ if they ‘stand firm’ and require ‘defunding of ObamaCare’ while funding other balances of the bloated budget. Americans want ObamaCare to go away; either ‘repeal or defund’ this economy killing ‘atrocity’. No more debating!
If the Republicans weaken or bow, President Obama, Harry Reid, and Capitol Hill Democrats win.
Just as the American electorate held Nancy Pelosi and Capitol Hill Democrats responsible for ‘cramming’ ObamaCare down the throats of Americans in 2009/2010, the American electorate will hold President Obama, Harry Reid, and Capitol Hill Democrat responsible in 2014 for not negotiating, repealing, or defunding.
If Republicans fail to continue the fight to defund or repeal, Americans will hold Capitol Hill Republicans responsible, and many Republicans will be coming home after the November 2014 General Election.
Republicans must stay strong. It is President Obama, Sen. Harry Reid and other Democrats who, by refusing to negotiate what Americans desire, are forcing the government ‘shut-down’.
This is the current situation, it is up to us just how much do we care. What are we "honestly" willing to do? Call, Call and Call again and tell your representatives you know their double crossing methods and you will not stand for it anymore. Read the following, the Republican party must know we are going to crush them if they do not follow our lead. People do not take it anym...ore, resist, deify, and rebel against this corrupt government. Read below by Bill Gibson.

There is an old trick in politics that I remember played over and over again in my 16 years as a political consultant to high level candidates and incumbents. They tell the public what they want to hear. They very craftily schedule a vote on it. They get on record as opposing or supporting the measure, knowing it will fail. Then they write letters and communicate to their constituents that they did the best they could, but in the end those nasty (Democrats) politicians forced the measure on the American Products. American Power.P people. Nonetheless, they vow to keep fighting on your behalf. All along they really didn't want the measure to succeed, but in the next election they have enough verbiage and votes to make a good television commercial.
The only way to beat this system is through extraordinary action. People must be publicly vocal even to the point of civil disobedience. Senator Cruz has taken the first step. Leviticus 26:8 says, "And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put then thousand to flight." Deuteronomy 32:30 says, "How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had given them up?" Socialized medicine is the gateway to tyranny. Through it, evils such as abortion, euthanasia, promotion of homosexuality to children, intense personal spying and a host of other horrors will be at the government's fingertips. Now is the time for action. Do what your Rock lays on your heart. Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Once before, I mentioned to my Congressmen Senator John Coronyn and House of Representative member, Joe Barton that maybe the true 'We the People' are in need of declaring our own 'Posse Comitatus' to effect and take back our government from this bunch of rogue representatives, and bureaucrats who are determined to destroy our Constitution; give away our freedoms and liberties; while making it their intent to make America another Solialist experiment, as they embrace Islamic principles and want to incorporate 'Sharria-law' into our government.
We must make every effort to call this nation back to GOD, awaken every citizen to the serious threat that exist; as we all bear the responsibility and obligation to wrest our Nation from this relentless lawlessness, at every level of government! Although it may have raised up it's head in our local civil offices in cities and towns; and attack too many of our individual State's governments, where we have allowed more than a few unscrupulous characters to be elected and voted into office, because of all of the wanton greed and avariciousness that has been pravailing over last forty years here in the United States. We have seen the degradation of all civility, respect or even the lack of serious concern for our families and the break-down of neighborhood interaction.
I heartily concur with Sen. Cruz of TX. Regardless, of all the rhetoric from the left and the Blue-dog Democrats; there is an uprising of all their constituents, be they are Republican; or Democrat or Independent, who are among the walking wounded(the honest hard-working people) [the Real 'WE-the-People'] that are fed up with being thrown under the bus, and ignored; with no valid response from any quarter to really put restructuring of our financial system nor comprehensive plans to put people back to work; and at the same time our Federal government has been allowed to expand unchecked, like a runaway cancer, while the Federal Reserve is allowed to continue printing new dollars, with absolutely no checks and balance, plus no intent of submission to audit by the Inspector General; and then the continuous battering of our constitution by a corrupt Attorney General, whom President Obama has dangling like a string puppet- that is step by step continuing with their onslaught while stripping away every bit of liberty and freedom! Maybe it is time for 'We-the-People' to take a totally different stance; and stand up to be counted, by taking a step of civil-disobedience, refusing to register for this mandatory-initiation of the Obama-care fiasco; at the same time taking a unified stand, by refusing to pay any Income Tax, late charges, or collections! ALL IN WITH JESUS CHRIST ~ Rev. Jerry L. Robertson (jldd21@charter.net)
The first American Revolution started with a few brave people. In the beginning most colonists were not ready to take on the world's best trained and equipped military. And we forget that most of the people who pledged at the signing did lose either their lives or fortunes before it was all over but none lost their sacred honor. Today, few understand the concept of sacred honor.
As I write this there are forces drumming the concept of sacred honor out of the military. Every day another right is quietly transformed into one that requires permission in order to be exercised. And still we go on thinking that things have not quite risen to the level requiring us to take action.
So far, we cannot speak out of turn at a public meeting or we are arrested; we cannot wear apparel that has politically incorrect statements or pictures on it particularly in school; you cannot pass out literature on a college campus without permission even if it is a copy of the Constitution and it is Constitution day; you cannot shoot an imaginary gun at your own home from your own property without being expelled from school; we cannot carry a gun - even in States that have open carry laws- if it frightens someone; we cannot express our religious beliefs in public; if you are in the military you cannot discuss your faith with another soldier even if you are a Chaplain; you cannot write God Bless America and put that on Facebook or you will be kicked off; if you say anything derogatory about Islam you are islamaphobic, a term invented by leftists who want to write laws banning this breach of politically correct etiquette but there is no such word as Chritianophobic or Christophobic; If you are a Muslim you can teach lies but if you are a Christian you may not teach the truth.
Few remember, I am sure, that as Nazi Germany began to rear its head, one of the first manifestations was that school children had to fill out a questionnaire about their families. Among the questions were a few about each student's ethnic origins and that of their parents and relatives. The kids had to take them home and have them back the next day. Many parents recognized that what looked like a simple survey was indeed trouble, especially the Jewish parents. The Jewish parents were afraid to buck the system because by this time everyone had seen what the Brown Shirts did to people who did not comply and the parents who were of Aryan origins understood that this was not about them.
Not long after those papers were turned in, parents of the Jewish children were notified that their kids would not be allowed to go to college and later the bar was lowered to eighth grade and later still to 4th grade. Along the way they had to turn in their guns then they were made to sew a star on their clothes so they were easily identifiable, then Aryans were not allowed to patronize their shops; then Jews were forced to sell their shops to Aryans for whatever they could get; then they had to sell their chattel to Aryans and give the money they got to the government and so on. The last step for many was a Notice of Deportation which for most meant they were going to a camp from which most did not return.
Today the accusation of an infraction of an environmental or USDA law can result in being descended upon by armored personnel carriers loaded with heavily armed police in helmets and flack jackets and may result in employees standing against the wall not allowed to ask questions about their status while storm troopers rummage through file cabinets collecting evidence. Now I realize this has not yet happened to you but I hope you know that these demonstrations of force are meant to let you know that if you do not stay in line, this and worse can happen to you.
We are witnessing the same progression today that occurred in pre second World War II Germany. Your rights are being curtailed a little at a time and you are being shown what will happen if you resist. Members of the press, and elected officials are being threatened implicitly and explicitly. Every day another protection fades. How long do you think we should wait? There are a bunch of truckers and other groups coming together to clog up Washington with every kind of road gear they can find – cars, trucks, motorcycles, mopeds. They are fed up and plan to do something now! You can read about this here https://www.google.com/search?q=truckers+to+washington&newwindo...

New Ministry Announcement
New Ministry Announcement...
As some of you have been so good in the way of patience waiting for this, my new announcement, I want to take time to thank each and everyone of you for doing so. As many of you reading this message already know, God's timing in everything is indeed important. I would never wish to get ahead of God nor ever to be late according to His will.
With that said being said, let me share this and probably all that you are already also aware.... America is in big, big trouble.
God has been laying on my heart many things and of course it involves the continued fight for my children, getting justice from the death threat against me from the City of Batavia police officer as well as that death threat being via judges, lawyers and an Illegal Alien/Foreign Immigration marriage Scammer. Beyond those issues however, it is also the spiritual condition of our nation as well as the many problems that many of you have either shared with me or asked me to help you with, that also greatly concerns me.
As I continue on a very limited basis in my ability to act as Director of Global Family Outreach Ministry, Because of the fore mentioned issues via criminal actions against me and my children, I have and have had the inability to be gainfully employed since 2008. So my time has been more free than what I actually wish to have. Trying to use my time wisely unto the Lord, I continue on my quest and wish to get justice and have been working hard to do that but those who in our Government who hate justice, hate Christians and probably hate you as well. Sadly, those in charge to help us in our Federal Government especially, have decided many times over, not to help us. It is plain to see that those who refuse to do their God given duty to help us but not doing so is an issue much larger than what I and or you can handle alone. Therefore, I have decided with the Lord's guidance...
- That especially Washington DC, the politicians, lobbyists, those workers there all need Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
- That without Jesus Christ back at the head of this nation, this nation is finished, done, no more.
- That DC needs Christian Missionaries, not Lobbyists.
- That those who need suffer need God's help... a messenger of God's ways, His Word to declare to those in Washington DC just what God wants, what he expects and how ignoring God's Word only brings judgment and harm to our nation.
With that being said, American Citizens need help and God's guidance too. At my latest speaking engagement at the Million Christian Patriot March in Washington, DC on 9/11/2013, I heard for the umpteenth time a similar message I have heard from other Americans all around the USA... who said, to me....“I live in Nebraska and it's hard to find a good Bible based church these days.”
Therefore...
I wish to put up a web page dedicated to getting our nation back with weekly blog articles and video messages from me until enough money can be raised to video messages with church worship/messages so that those who don't have or can't find a Bible based church can have some sort of spiritual feeding and help. On this web page I will also start with announcements of Christian missionary trips to DC periodically where I will share the Gospel, Christian concerns and the message of the Bible to all in DC... politicians, lobbyists, government workers, contractors, businesses, etc. I will do this until I have enough financial help to move closer and live near Washington DC so I may spend more time there sharing God's Word, His ways with those who are in influence and need of salvation through Jesus Christ there. Once again, I will invite Christian pastors/Christians to join with me.
I understand that there are a few so called “Christian” lobby groups and “ministries” there in DC. Quite frankly and by the evidence of what we see in these days in DC's actions, these lobbyists and ministries have failed us and all Americans miserably. I have found long ago, you can never compromise with the devil and when the devil raises his ugly head, you cannot play “nice-nice” with him nor his minions. My main goal is to share Jesus Christ and carry a message of blessings for following for God's Word or judgment and destruction of this nation if God' as the Bible declares, if His Word is not followed.
Perhaps you are a person who can relate to all what I'm sharing here. You are the person I'm speaking to right now. God is laying on your heart that we need change in DC, back to the Jesus way. We need Jesus back in our land, our churches, in our families and our communities. I am willing to organize a ministry and to take the lead. Others of course are welcome to join me, especially true Bible believing pastors and Christians alike. I am willing to preach, guest preach, speak on (cell phone video is all I have access to right now) TV, radio, practically anywhere including Washington DC to help get God and Godly ways back to America.
Now, here is where “the rubber meets to road.” As I shared I am not employed, I am unemployable at this point as I indicated from the illegal actions of an Illegal Alien and her demonic Government and other demonic cohorts. I haven't held a job since 2008. I cannot afford to travel, speak, get up a website or do much of anything without your help. I don't want a salary, I want America back and I most of all want Jesus back to America. As I continue my fight for my children, justice for me, I can also make my fight into something much bigger and Godly for all Americans. If American's want our nation back, quite simply and as many of our Founding fathers found out, it's going to take sacrifice and money to get things doesn't grow on trees. I don't wish to sound rude but riding someone else's coat tails to get your own needs met won't work in this ministry. Prayer is nice and necessary but "prayer alone" is like the "money fairy" it doesn't exist in the Christian Bible. Prayer must be coupled with action to get our nation back and this ministry to be used to do it. James 2:17-20.
Right now, a website just to get things started will cost $189.50 I don't want you to send me the money if that's you who will help with that project. I will certainly ask that if you want this ministry to begin, you pay for the website to be put in place directly. I won't ever ask for money for me unless it's for expenses and most likely will ask you, those of you who believe this is what the Lord wants and is orchestrating... to pay directly for what is needed for the ministry in getting Jesus and His ways to those who control our nation. I'm not fighting for me or for you or sharing the plan of salvation and Godly ways for financial profit. I do this not for me, but to save our families and our lives and nation that's in deep, deep trouble, I do this for the very soul's of the lost and the love for our nation.
So, I put this ministry in God's and your hands as to it's begging all the way to it's end. Many of you have asked me for help, I am limited just like you but I believe by sharing Jesus Christ, His ways and sharing the bad and evil things that have occurred to you with those in power, we can get our nation back. Surely God will destroy this nation sooner than what most all around our nation believe. Just turn on your TV and watch for 10 minutes if you have doubts.
I will entertain questions for those sincerely and honestly wishing to become engaged in supporting this ministry. I am not open to suggestions. I know what God has placed on my heart. I will reply only to those who are willing to support this ministry and want our nation back as I indicated. Please do not contact me in any other form regarding this new ministryother than by contacting me at this temporary e-mail address ....
Thank you and God Bless,
Rev. Paul Waldmiller
Got a question for you charlie. When was the last time you dug down into your own deep pockets
to purchase food or clothing for a poor person. If I recall, Jesus was talking to the rich man and not to
the government
I must be in the wrong place. I'd vote for Allen West right now. I am interested in someone who
has the interest of the nation at heart and not their own communist agenda

Finding employment for youth with Autism or any specific need in this area is sometimes a difficult task. However, I have plenty of ideas that could be forged through employment with partners here in Oklahoma instead of paying the high price of “Oklahoma Project Search.”
My paper hopes an In-depth look at “Oklahoma Project Search,” and the national roots of “Project Search;” will show huge need of programs for youth with disabilities that deliver a program of fulfillment with a better comparative outlook.
Hard questions I produced and sent to the National Project Search program are seen below from my letter to projectsearch@cchmc.org..
Sandra Adcock August 23, 2013 2:09AMTo: ProjectSEARCH@cchmc.org cost lisc fee
“I was wondering the cost of licensing fees for each site?
Specifically what it cost the state, say Oklahoma, or school
district, or each agency? Or, do all pay a fee or contribute to
process?Why such high costs for the job coach?Why such
high cost for bonus of employment?Define successful
employment? 3 months?What is the percent success in terms
of (please put for Oklahoma stats if you will) -
Employment in years in these: $ amount per hour
$7-$10 $10-$12 $12-$14
$14-$20 $20 and above.
Also, what % jobs provide health insurance?”
Instead of the National Project Search in/@ Cincinnati Children’s getting back with me, the local or state head (I think but not sure) in Oklahoma replied back. I was given information about the program but direct questions were not answered. Or, if they went unanswered the explanation for such was missed on my part.
On Sep 4, 2013, at 1:57 PM, "Goldston, Judi F." wrote: Hi Sandra: I am the Project SEARCH Statewide Coordinator for Oklahoma. Your information request has been forwarded to me by the National office. My apology for the delayed response.Then the later was writing writing writing.
Ms. Goldston did a nice job of explaining how Project Search did this and that. How the first program opened in 2007. She gave me the total of current active sites involved in Project Search. Says there is a blending of currents and funding.
One answer concerning the license cost for each new site is the cost runs three hundred dollars per year. This seems and I think is reasonable. Project Search appears to be touted as Oklahoma’s answer to the problem of finding jobs for those with autism and other disabilities in our current time.
Ms. Goldston said they follow the guidelines of DRS regarding employment success. From what Ms Goldston wrote to me in the reply, answers from Kimberly Osmani, and others; that success means a person worked for three months. This is a typical employer’s probationary period.
Project Search follows the school year. Why is this? Does this mean OKDRS doesn’t have to follow these people in the summer? Why would they follow the school year? Thus, I will assume all stipulations on Voc. Rehab Counselors and Vendor Job Coaches goes through the same time frame of the school year. Does this go for ten months or what happens if a school system now has adopted the year round calendar? Does this mean the Project Search employees will not go with the year round calendar?
This is one more thought I had and something I want you to hold in your head when I get to the stipulations of wage for the Vocational Rehab Counselor or Job Vendor Salary that comes in the agreement with Project Search, and now I am told many other job vendors or projects.
Now looking at my other questions and the information given; I would say other questions and information I wanted was left unanswered. The attempt to fulfill my needs was interesting but not worth looking at in my opinion.
Kimberly Osmani told me the successful employment term went for all job vendors in Oklahoma. The payment for the job coach or vendor was the same as for Project Search. She may say she mislead me by mistake or I did not follow this highly specific question but I made sure to get the response right. If what she says is true and we pay all OKDRS Job Vendors and Coaches $1500 for successful employment at and after three months; the program needs to be looked at by the State Senate, Governor and House with a fine tooth comb and mirror.
I asked Osmani, while I had her on the phone today Sept. 16 at close to 5pm in 2012, why at a Transition Workshop if she knew an answer was misleading or not the full intent of the parent, me, wanted in an answer; why she did not correct the answer. She told me it was not her place or job to do so. Yet, at workshop put on by the Oklahoma Autism Network where I asked what the prevailing wage was for those in a Sheltered Workshop; a person from OAN went on to make it look like these Workshops were okay because they could theoretically make ten times the prevailing wage. The simple honest answer would be most often the wage is under the legal minimum wage. I don’t care what the wage is. I wanted the common and decent answer. After all wasn’t the point to education parents on Transition? Giving full complete honest information is what should happen. If a person from a different department of the state government knows it then say so. Or, is their job more important than that of those they serve; in this case the most needed and vulnerable members of our society.
Here are specifics from a PDF on Project Search with regard to wage and salary of the Job Coaches. Remember Osmani told me this went for most OKDRS Vendors. I will state this an assumption. It must be the same for OKDHS employment programs which Osmani often teams with to help in the Transition part of her job. Below are the facts from the PDF;
Those that participate in program Project Search are considered “UNPAID INTERNS.’

“DRS Contract for Job Coaching Job coaching only during the school year •$750 per month per student
Prorated if not 70% attendance •Specifies at least $20,000 plus benefits Job coaching plus placement and employment outcome (REMEMBER THIS DEFINITION IS 90 DAYS) Also, $775 for placement
And $1,500 for successful employment”
Let’s step into the real world for a few minutes. Does the definition of three months seem good enough? Would most employment agencies get this payment? Are their other ideas that could be found? Glad you asked. I have been trying for years to get people to listen. However, that seldom happens. It does. Below I want to thank these people that do listen, listen but do not always check to verify it they are right and those that listen beyond the overzealous wounds of a mother that has missed out on resources due to misinformation.

Jody Harlan OKDRS
William Ginn at office of Disability Concerns
Joni Bruce with Oklahoma Family Network (Winning a place in my heart forever for help given at certain times)
Judy Pleuss at Oklahoma Autism Network
Dee Blose at Youth and Family Services in El Reno (A Triple Platinum Heart I would give if I could)
Jeanette Doty formally of OU-NCDET and OKAY (SHE WINS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART BECAUSE SHE HELPED HIM GROW. I did try to as well as my family, provide finical and other support when possible)
Vyonda Martin at OUHSC Center for Learning and Leadership (One of the first to give me a start in public resources that are not specific to lower income families. Platinum Heart is her rating too. There is nothing wrong with low income families but the middle gets left out plenty.)
Part II will look at needs of employers, other programs and supply what I deem to be real answers.
****The information quoted came from a PDF on Project Search. I will be happy to reproduce this and/or attach it /show you where to go to get it....
Thank you God my son has Autism only instead of this horrible other.

Now wouldn’t you think they would be letting people know about this page? I am not going to keep you guessing! If my child had cancer; I would be screaming my ears off why had they not told me about this.

In a July 24, 2013 TriCare announces it changes in autism Coverages on DIvid's by video at this web address: http://www.dvidshub.net/video/297093/tricare-changes-autism-coverage#.Ui0gD2SG1vY.
If you have Basic Coverage there is no change.
If you have Enhanced Care Health Option or Echo Program there are no changes to your benefit.
If you are a retiree or retired family member’s survivor with autism; autism coverage is being expanded in a Pilot Program and if you want to know more about them call the TriCare Center in your region(Here in Oklahoma, I am sure Tinker or a military base would have that information for you. Yet, TriCare also has a website. Try this site; http://www.military.com/kwlp08? ESRC=ggl_mem_ben_tricpec_exp_4.kw&np=1).
^^^^^^^ Those with autism are often considered Visual thinkers. “Thinking in Pictures,” by Temple Grandin often comes to mind when this is said. The NIH funded a study in mice recently that shows the “way the brain develops a visual circuit in growth.” This could be important to autism and the understanding of the processes that go on in this type of classing of a number of spectrum characteristics.

Dedicating this post to STEPHANIE HORWITZ "THANKS"
A MAN'S heart plans his way; GOD GUIDES HIS FOOT ON THE PATH AND ACCELERATOR.
Cast.org is the place to start for teachers/parents/ grandparents all concerned adults.
Remember to donate when possible. There is no reason for a teacher to go without AT
again.
I plan to do my best. I will write more but have a lot I want to do:
START REFRAMING RESOURCES AS NONPROFIT.
START FOR PROFIT that will keep me in funds but not rich. It will help with new products and services. Being rich isn't everything. Except one can share. Look at the Gates and so many others.
Coauthor a book with another mom. More when she lets me tell you. Thanks !
Tell me what you need; I will try to direct you there if it is within my ability.
