"Advocacy Messages"
One campaign message
I believe to be important and inspiring is in the article of Autism Speaks.The agency
launched a major radio advertising campaign Sponsored by Reps. Chris Smith
(R-NJ) and Mike Doyle (D-PA), on the
bill that would authorize an additional
three years of federal funding frozen at current levels to continue research,
services and treatment for autism and related behavioral disorders. The
authorization would not add to the national debt, while allowing critical work
to continue in addressing autism, which has been declared a public health
emergency by the national Centers for Disease Control (CDC),( Autism Speaks
2011).
Another is the advertisement for missing children from the
website www.missingkids.com. This
website is inspiring and important because there are many children who are
kidnapped yearly either from someone they know and who are strangers to them. I
have just finished watching the story of Carlena White, a young woman who was
kidnapped when she was only 19 days old. She was reunited with her biological
family only because of this organizations website and services that assist in
finding missing children.
I believe both of these organizations are beneficial to
families and are great and important resources that should be supported by
everyone.

I also believe both of those organizations are vital to the well being of children and their families. Over the last 23 years I have worked with children who have been diagnosed with Autism to some degree. As I work with the children and their families I have seen how frustrating it is for them to get the answers they need. Great post!
The Autism Speaks is something that is close to my heart. Honestly, I did not see it as an adverstisment, but I guess it is. Amber Alert is another good one! Great Work!!
