Comments on: Where are the questions about disability issues? http://www.patriciaebauer.com/2008/10/03/disability-questions-3366/ Disability News | PatriciaEBauer.com Wed, 24 Nov 2010 22:50:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Stephen Drake http://www.patriciaebauer.com/2008/10/03/disability-questions-3366/comment-page-1/#comment-2826 Stephen Drake Fri, 03 Oct 2008 19:21:08 +0000 http://www.patriciaebauer.com/?p=3366#comment-2826 Part of the problem is that the candidates - and their respective staffs - don't seem to be calling attention in any way when a candidate *does* work on something disability-related. A current example is the Joe Biden's reintroduction of the "Crime Victims with Disabilities Act" on October 1st. Biden's statement introducing the bill and other info can be read at the ICAD blog here: http://icad.wordpress.com/2008/10/02/biden-crime-victims-with-disabilities-act/ The problem is, as I've written on the NDY blog, there is no mention of Biden's introduction of the bill on Biden's website. If Biden's office doesn't call the media's attention to it, we can't fault the media for not asking about it.
