JPs Law
JPs Law, a “measure implemented in 2014 by the General Assembly, allows a specific code on a Virginia ID or driver’s license to alert police officers that the cardholder has Autism our an intellectual disability.” This measure is spearheaded by Pam Mines, JPs Mom who also Advocates for training of law enforcement so that there’s uniformity nationwide in the training. We can align our military ID cards for our Loved Ones with the same measure where the space for signature goes. We can put for example “Autistic” so that this is visible to whomever is viewing the ID card. Let us know what you think. Email us at: AD2VETS@gmail.com Stay Healthy & Safe!

2 Vote or Not 2 Vote-Part Deux!
Some additional aspects 2 consider about voting from our local school boards, 2 Councilperson, Lt Govenor, Govenor, Congressperson, Senators, & so on. When we take the time 2 look at past mid-term & national elections there are patterns. "History is best qualified to reward our research."-Derick Muhamad (fellow Veteran)
2 Vote or Not 2 Vote!
Voting or not voting is a personal choice. My perception is that both political parties R 2 sides of the same coin. Although it would be nice 2 have those running 4 any office were funded by only constituents-we're not there yet. 4 now, corporations R considered ppl & so usually have greater capital 2 invest in politicians which provides greater access & focus on their agenda. If you vote whether ur ballot is sent via mail-in or done locally. Votes on the local level matter just as much if not more that the national level Bec most politicians follow a political pattern 2 get 2 more echelons of political positions. So the earlier, constituents make clear their positions, possibly the better.
