It's so easy, a caveman could do it.

I'm a little embarrassed it took me until this morning to get this done.  But I did it, and can't believe how simple it was.

Right now, there's a huge need to to keep Fragile X in the federal budget.  Research for Fragile X also benefits autism, by the way.  You knew that, right?  Fragile X is the most common known genetic cause of autism.  They know exactly what gene causes it.  If you read this blog you know a lot of exciting research has been going on, and that we've taken part in a clincal drug trial that is helping the boys so much by reducing their anxiety and increasing their verbal abilities.

Granted, I may be a little biased. *smile*  But it really seems like this is a syndrome where research is on the cusp of a breakthrough.  Don't let it slow down now!

And fill in your name, address, and a personal statement.  Something like

"My friends Zachary and Andrew Korman have Fragile X Syndrome.  Their mom had no idea she carried the gene until they were diagnosed."

Then click on "Review your message" and it'll show you your congress-people, and the text of the letters it will send.

Thank you so much.  It means a lot to me that you're willing to take 35 seconds out of your day to help us!

As thanks, check out these crazy cute pictures I took of the boys playing outside yesterday.  I might have to look into getting Zack a man-purse for all the stuff he insists on carrying around with him.

Just because I like to carry The Wiggles around with me, don't think I'm a softy.  Check out that skull & crossbones.
