Advocating for children and adults with disabilities, this blog began during the 2008 presidential campaign to track the candidates' positions and records. Citizen advocacy for people with disabilities and their families is critical, and not just during election seasons. Don't let your elected officials play politics with your children and loved ones. They deserve better.

Mom to McCain: "Don't Forget About Us"
Linda Wessels from Iowa supported Sen. McCain partly because he promised to support kids like her son Sam, who has autism. The campaign may be over, but her fight for increased autism support is not. She's started a petition to hold McCain accountable for the the promises he made on the campaign trail to her and other parents. Wessels says, "I want to show him we are still out here in massive numbers and we still need him to champion our cause."
You can sign her petition here.
