A job made possible by the use of adaptive equipment. In reviewing both candidate's websites regarding disabilities and work I find that the Obama/Biden platform is supportive of providing what I need to keep working while if I understand the McCain/Palin position I am at risk of losing support for the necessary adaptive equipment and once I lose my job because of lack of equipment my ability to receive disability payments will also be reduced. As a tax paying, voting employed citizen I plan to vote for the ticket that will keep me employed and paying taxes. I am fortunate to be one of the disabled adults with a job.
