President Obama is doing a fabulous job! In my opinion, he has already set a record for civil rights. His latest move is toward the enhancement of rights for people with disabilities. President Obama does plan to sign the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (which I wrote about a few posts ago) and to make sure our government ratifies it. If you emailed him as I suggested in my prior post, thank you so much for doing so.
President Obama states that he wants the US to be a leader in disability rights! He has a plan and it fits with the goals of self-advocacy.
Obama’s Plan includes the following:
• Provide equal educational opportunities.
• End discrimination.
• Increase the employment rate.
• Support independent, community-based living.
To learn more, check out Obama’s website regarding his thoughts about disability. And if you haven’t emailed President Obama about these issues, please do.
