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.

Review the Justice Department's ADA Checklist for Polling Places.
Listen to or read NPR's story "Disabled Voters Fight for More Accessible Polling Places."
