Op-ed: Where’s Palin’s disability agenda?
October 7th, 2008Writing in the [UK] Guardian, Ben Adler says Sarah Palin has not backed up her promises with any agenda designed to help people with disabilities. An excerpt:
There are plenty of ways, from IDEA funding to expanded health coverage to Community Choice, that Palin could promise to serve the interests of people with disabilities. But so far Palin’s pledge to lead on disability issues because of her personal connection to the community has not been developed into more than mere rhetoric. And unless she specifies what exactly she would do for disabled children as vice-president, she risks creating the impression that all she is really seeking with that rhetoric is political reward.
