Grisamore's Largest Donation was $1,000 From The Missouri Association of School Administrators
One of the final questions asked each candidate was who is their biggest contributor was and how large was the donation. Grisamore’s largest donation was $1,000 from the Missouri Association of School Administrators, Zapien-Pina received $200 from a voter and Cardarella was given $1,000 from Naral, a pro-women’s group. Torpey told the audience he’d received $2,000 from his wife, Blevins said he’d filed a statement of exemption vowing not to spend or receive more than $500 on his campaign, Gough said a personal friend donated $1,000, Osgood’s largest contribution was $500 from a voter and Cross’ brother contributed $1,000 to his campaign.

Since when did Grisamore have an autistic son? Will he never quit using his children to gain political favor? Surely I am not the only person that finds this appalling.

Don't Vote Based On False Information
I deplore all to vote based on real information and careful research. Don't vote based on information that you have not carefully screened. Anyone can say anything. The proof is in the pudding. Are your autistic children getting a better education? Are your autistic chiildren receiving the services that they are federally entitled to? What has your Representative done beyond using your families pain as a stepping stone in his political career?

What Has He Really Done?
Representative Grisamore has been quick to use individuals with autism as a stepping stone in his career. But, what has he really done? Gone all over the state promoting himself as the autism savior?
How many of the children in his district have been forced to drop out of school, attend private schools, been sent to Ozanam, etc. while he stood back and watched? Has he filed any bills that would hold DESE or the school districts accountable? I don't think so. He refuses to.
He is endorsed by NEA, the Superintendent's association, the principal's association, etc. How can you accept those endorsements and then write bills that would foce those people to do what is right? You can't.
Insurance is not the only need. We need to make sure that these children get the education and services that will help them to be successful. It won't happen as long as our legislators are in bed with the very people that are denying them.
