Welcome to the Disability Rights blog. According to the US Census Bureau about 20% of the U.S. population self identified themselves as a person with a disability. A disability, as defined by the government, is a condition that limits one's ability to perform one or more activities of daily living (ADL's). That includes such activities as walking, talking, hearing, thinking, etc. Those of us with disabilities are the most under represented minority in the nation. It is my goal to bring awareness to this fact into the Democratic Party. I welcome hearing your story and efforts you are making to resolve this disparity.
