In his Agenda for Virginians with Disabilities, Governor-elect Mark Warner promised to make the Department for the Rights of Virginians with Disabilities (DRVD) truly independent. He writes, " [under the current scheme], the state is responsible for policing itself. In 40 other states, this responsibility is given to agencies outside of state government -- truly independent agencies that can advocate more effectively...As Governor, will provide the leadership to make the Department truly independent -- in order to protect the human rights of Virginians with Disabilities " (www.markwarner2001.org). Now, that's a promise worth keeping. Write to Governor Warner today and tell him you support his commitment to make the Department for Rights of Virginians with Disabilities truly independent: The Honorable Mark Warner Governor of Virginia Office of the Governor PO Box 1475 Richmond, Virginia 23219 Or call: 804-786-2211 :-) Mike Savory AWAK(e)A © 2001 " Advocacy With Abundant Keys to Excellence and Access " Offering Advocacy in: Community Service, Student Advocacy, Facilitation & Mediation (Volunteer) Adolescence Doesn't Die IT Just Gets Buried !...
