Obama will be sending Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Ill.) as a surrogate. Harkin is a disability policy advisor for Obama and also the author of the Americans with Disagbilities Act.
Individuals with disabilities are, more often than not, a forgotten population. I realize that there are many issues to debate. But shouldn't any person who is running for the President of the United States step up and address the disabled? If a Presidential candidate will not consider us now, I bet that they won't after being elected either! Remember, some disabilities can not be seen; dont forget there are 51,000,000 of us. Mr. Obama, step up, and we hope to see you in Columbus!
I have a disability that affects me socially but is not visibly apparent. I feel that awareness of ALL disabilities in children and adults needs to be seriously addressed in this campaign. Senator McCain has confirmed that he will appear in the discussion via satellite. I noticed that Senator Obama had a video expressing his views towards disabilities released on his campaign website as of December of last year and was wondering why he has not confirmed his appearance at the 07-26 conference.
The 12,000 members of Fifth Freedom are all excited about the upcoming presidential forum in Columbus. On July 26, the candidates will truly feel the power of the disability vote. See you in Columbus!

Awesome video! I, too, invite Senators Obama and McCain to Columbus, Ohio Saturday, July 26, 2008 to tell us their positions on disability issues. We need to hear from both of you, and we need to know that you hear our thoughts and concerns, too. See you in Columbus, Ohio!
Let's break 1,000 views before Saturday!

Got to love CSI. Out of all the versions, the original is still the best!
