rivkaHoward Dean released a disability rights platform today. I'm so pleased - and also surprised, actually. It's a very thorough set of positions, and even in the press release it's evident that he understands the impact of different disability laws and programs. He really seems to get it.
Kerry is the only other Democratic candidate with a disability platform, as far as I can tell, and it's kind of sketchy. Edwards has a statement about increasing medical research on disabilities in the section of his website about his health care views. Lieberman, Kucinich, Gephardt, Mosely-Braun, and Sharpton don't seem to have disability platforms, as far as I can tell from their websites.
