IT'S UP TO US TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT W. Bush pledged to create "new freedom" in the lives of Americans with disabilities. Instead, he has: * Gutted the enforcement of the Americans With Disabilities Act. * Nominated judges who oppose the civil rights of people with disabilities. * Failed to adequately fund special education. * Left children with disabilities behind in his "No Child Left Behind Act." * Proposed legislation that would destroy Medicaid. * Signed a Medicare prescription drug bill that will not meet the needs of people with disabilities. * Underfunded domestic programs that facilitate the employment of people with disabilities. * Refused to address the escalating costs of health care for all Americans.Hold President Bush accountable for his misleading rhetoric.
