40 Million Americans…

Meg  and I *sincerely* apologize for the lack of updates.  But after seeing AAPD’s election site, which has a good portion of what we wanted to provide, we’ve decided on a change of plans.

We’re going to type up a line by line translation of HAVA (Help America vote Act).  Our community is systematically left out of the voting process for a myriad of reasons and the first step in reclaiming our rights is learning exactly what our rights are so we can fight for them.

We haven’t began this yet as we’ve been dealing with various health issues, but we will start ASAP.  If anyone here would like to help we’d appreciate it.  If so, leave a comment or send us an email to let us know.

Here is Clinton’s site where she specifically addresses disability issues.  It was not included in the comprehensive list because it was just found.

At our LiveJournal community, Meg was nice enough to convert Obama’s more comprehensive attention to disability rights into text format (for those who have trouble with PDFs or have older screen readers).  I’m posting this separately so that it is easier to access and not because I am being partisan or pushing one candidate over another.

The text version is here.

This is a bit of overflow as far as the questionnaire answers posted earlier, but it is a comprehensive view of how different candidates address disability. Meg is the one who gets credit for compiling everything, I’m jost posting it here. She’d like to add that she has been trying to compile this information for quite a while, but it still, unfortunately, does not exist in any comprehensive format. “I’m talking about disability rights - including but not limited to health care, equal opportunity employment, education, voting rights and the like.”

Here’s the link to our LiveJournal community where it was originally posted.
