Presidential Politics

..Tis the season, presidential politics is upon us. The campaign season is racing up to go in full force. Last week the Democrartic candidates had there first televised debates and this weeks the Rebulicans will do the same. The question remains which candidate will have a disability policy that looks at not just healthcare issues - but how people with disabilities can gain greater access to society & more importantly what as President will each candidate do to benefit this large community. What is often lost amongst candidates is the power that the disability community has a as a voting block. Unfortunatley, this has been over looked in the past several election. However, organizations like AARP and NOD have begun to make some headway into utilizing thet power that the disability voting block possess I do feel that it is underserved.

A suggestion I have is to take a page from the playbook of AARP to show that the disperate voices of the disability community CAN have one voice & one common agenda. This will in turn create a power surge never seen in Presidential politics.
