2008 Democratic National Convention: Remarks as Prepared for Delivery by David A. Paterson, Governor of New York - The Denver Post

Obama's speach tonight was great! Nice to see history in the making!
From Gov. Patterson's speach from last night: "The promise of America has also diminished for people with disabilities. Only 37 percent of Americans with disabilities are employed. Only 30 percent of blind people are employed."

I met Joey when I carried the torch. I support the work of Team Darfurr. At the same time I have been careful about showing that support. My job is to compete while in China- end of discussion.

Timothy Shriver - What 'Tropic Thunder' Thinks Is Funny - washingtonpost.com

Recently a masters level class of marage and family therapy students were asked what they would do if a person with a disability came to them for counseling. 73% stated that they would opt not to serve the person and would refer them out instead. I don't know much about this movie. It is my experience that we have a very long way to go before people with disabilities can walk through the world without wearing the label, freak.
