disabilities receive less financial backing from the presidential candidates.

significantly impact the popular vote.� And still, most members of our
community feel that they encounter little attention from the
presidential candidates and from the political system as a whole,"

be heard on topics such as healthcare, accessibility, veterans'
issues and unemployment."
