We Still Need Your Help!

We need help getting the Candidates to address Disability Issues!

The 2012 National Forum on Disability Issues (NFDI) is now only two weeks
away!  But the candidates have still not confirmed their participation!! 

According to a  <http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?VFZ3-Zz8u-1LwP5X7> recent
study, people with disabilities are an important voting bloc so why are the
candidates not talking about disability issues?

We need your help to contact the campaigns!  Tell them that people with
disabilities and their families matter in this election!  Tell the
candidates to show they care by coming to Columbus on September 28!  

Invite Your Candidates:  Call, e-mail, make a video, or take a photo and
send it to the candidates inviting them to attend (see sample script below).
Here are some sample video invitations on You Tube:
