       Good morning, Congressman, My name is Rachel Kenyon. I am a proud and battle-tested Army wife and mom of two beautiful babes, one with autism. As Committee confers to reconcile House and Senate versions of the FY2013 NDAA, I personally ask for your acceptance and consideration of the attached 2,497 petition signatures and 421 individual comments regarding the Caring for Military Kids with Autism Act/Gillibrand Autism Amendment. I have spent the last two years pouring my heart and soul into seeing this legislation pass. I thank those of you who have offered your support and I beg those of you who are hesitant to accept this legislation to look again. Look at our bravest families. Look at the thousands of names and stories our citizens have lent to this cause. They represent only a small fraction of our military families in crisis. They speak for the thousands who are simply unable to fight for this while fighting every day for our country and for their own children with autism who need care. Currently, TRICARE military healthcare provides less than half the recommended treatments for autism, and only to children of active duty service members. Service members who retire after more than twenty years and Wounded Warriors forced to medically retire are stripped of what little treatment TRICARE allows via the Extended Care Health Option (ECHO). On Thursday, May 17, 2012, Congressman John Larson took to the House floor armed with embarrassingly large photos of our little family and made the case for Caring for Military Kids with Autism Act to be included as an amendment to the FY2013 NDAA. It worked, because for Mr. Larson, this had become personal. It worked because Rep. Tom Rooney had the courage to walk up to Chairman Buck McKeon and tell him it was personal. Mr. Rooney has two nephews with autism. Mr. McKeon did the right thing, because now he understood, it was personal. The amendment passed as part of the NDAA in the House. Senator Gillibrand and several bipartisan cosponsors passed a similar amendment in the Senate. Now our thousands of military families await conference committee members to approve this life-changing legislation. I contact you today because this fight is so very personal for so many of us serving our country each day. Not only do I want my husband to feel that his more than 26 years of service warrant the medical care our daughter with autism needs, but I want my daughter to have the security of being able to access the tools that can give her a richer, more meaningful life. It’s personal because I now hold 23,000 other children in my heart, and more than that many parents who serve our country. I love them as I love my own. I want them to feel proud of their country’s service to them in return. I want them to sleep at night, knowing that though autism may have knocked on their door, they can live their lives to the fullest with the care they need and deserve. It’s personal. I started this petition on Change.org several months ago to garner support for this legislation. I believe in my heart that if you read even a small portion of the petition comments from your constituents, both military and civilian, you all will choose to do the right thing. To take this fight personally. To share with your fellow staffers, Senators and Representatives that our families are proud. That our children are worthy. That if just one military child was denied the cancer treatments he or she needed, we would not be wasting time with emails and petitions and action alerts. A true American who hears that 23,000 military children are being denied the medical standard of care for autism takes that personally. Well, for real American patriots, it is so very personal. I appreciate your time and I pray for all of you and your loved ones, because I know that your own public service to our country is so vital as well. For our little family, we will be spending another holiday season living with autism in our house and praying so hard that this is one fight we can say we have found victory. Best, Mrs. Rachel E. Kenyon Wife to Command Sergeant Major William W. Kenyon, 1BN 102IN (MTN) CTARNG. Mother of two beautiful babes – one with autism. http://www.change.org/petitions/congress-make-recommended-autism-treatment-available-to-all-military-children

      I think Congressman Brady's proposal for a city owned casino with a private company managing it is a fresh and bright idea. The process of government making money beyond taxing people has got to be introduced more and more. The congressman should expand the concept: The federal government owns oil untapped on federal land. Imagine the jobs, the increase in domestic supply of fuel, the revenue generated by having the fed owning a chunk of the oil market. Again, it should be managed by a private company to avoid the post office model. Imagine if Uncle Sam made profits like Lukoil , Exxon and Citgo.
