Opinion Free - Politics Neutral - Information Post

[Guest guest]

Ok,

So it looks like we are all interested in knowing what the candidates

plan to do on this issue, correct? So, I emailed both campaigns asking

for information on the area. I received a response from both within 2

hours.

The McCain response was what looked like an auto reply that went

something like " Thank you for your interest. We'll get back to you as

soon as we can. "

The Obama response was a personal note from a campaign staffer along the

lines of " Thanks for your interest, here's our plan document for this

issue, let me know if you have any questions. " I have attached the plan

document for your review.

I went on the McCain site, but had trouble getting around in it and did

not find anything, perhaps someone could poke around on their site and

see if anything interesting pops up.

Please do not misconstrue this email as a specific endorsement of either

candidate, my goal here is to get information into the hands of people

looking for it.

This document, and maybe one from the McCain camp could serve as a

foundation for us to express our desires in a unified way on behalf of

our particular little neighborhood of the Disability Community (whatever

that is). Or not, maybe we all just get a little better informed.

I'd appreciate it if someone had time to look around on the McCain site

and see if anything can be found.

Thanks All.

Taking politics to the people - whichever person you vote for, work for,

etc

- make your voices heard.

Either of these people want our votes, let them SHOW US that they will

stand

together with us in a movement to fully fund the needs of our kids,

(insusrance and life) and END THE WATING LISTS (and the shadow waiting

lists). First one to want to work on this gets my vote .

I knw - one issue platforms are doom to failure, but right now I haven't

heard anything but war and economics and I don't know about you but I

don't

agree with anyone of them on most of these issues.
