For Immediate Release:
Medicare for Autism Now-BC Campaign Rally and Ontario Tour
Vancouver, BC:- The Medicare for Autism Now Society today announced it will be holding a campaign rally on Saturday, October 4, 2008 beginning at 2:00 p.m. at the Eaglequest Golf and Country Club, 7778 – 152nd St. in Surrey. This rally is part of the societys Two Percent Solution campaign aimed at influencing the electoral outcome in 14 targeted federal constituencies across the country.
In its Auton decision, the Supreme Court of Canada told parents of autistic children to get political if they wanted to see their children no longer be orphans of the Medicare system, states Jean Lewis, a founding director of the Medicare for Autism Now Society. Weve taken the judiciary at their word and have launched a nation-wide campaign to elect MPs, regardless of which political party holds office following this election, who will vote for legislation that enshrines the treatment of autism under Medicare because it is the morally right and economically sensible thing to do.
The rally is intended to attract parents of autistic children and their supporters from across Metro Vancouver. Its aim is to promote a grassroots campaign that will help elect candidates to Parliament who support Medicare for Autism Now!
As a Canadian who does not have an autistic child, but who believes strongly in the fundamental values of this country, I am disgusted by the federal governments wilful indifference to the plight of these children and their families, says Scott Hean, who will be master of ceremonies at the rally.
Representatives of Medicare for Autism Now will be travelling to Ontario the next day for a week of campaigning in target constituencies, including Parry Sound-Muskoka, political home to Canadas Health Minister, Tony Clement.

I am responding to Barbara Rodriguez' question about the Medicare for Autism Now! initiatve in the current federal election. We are targeting 14 ridings across Canada that had the slimmest margin of win (2% or less) in the previous election. The question that we are asking all of the candidates is: "If elected to the House of Commons on October 14th, will you publicly commit to supporting legislation that will amend the Canada Health Act to include science-based treatment for autism under Medicare?"
We are asking them to reply with a simple "Yes", "No" or "Don't care".
I would like to encourage all of you, regardless of what riding you live in, to put this question to each of your candidates. You can do so in person, via letter (send along a copy to your local paper), at all-candidate's meetings, etc. Let them know that your support on October 14th depends on their reponse to this question.
For regular updates on the Medicare for Autism Now! political initiative, please check our website at http://www.medicareforautismnow.org
