This is me and my wife, Kathy, at the 2006Missouri Disability Rally in Jefferson City.
There were over 1,000 people with disabilities
and family members at the rally last year.
There are so many problems with our political system. One of the most serious problems in Missouri includes the Republican-designed cuts of the Medicaid system. The list of aggregious cuts are too numerous to put in one blog post. One local Blogger, however, has been focusing on the problems with the cuts to the Medicaid program. She is thinking many things and posting them for all to see.
One way that you can get involved with the serious violations against persons with disabilities and the poor is to attend the statewide Disability Rally Day in Jefferson City. This is an annual event started several years ago. When I worked as the director of a disability agency, I coordinated Springfield’s participation.
After I left, The Network took up the coordination of the cause. They had always been an integral part of the event and now they are the lead agency for the Ozarks area. The event typically will have 1,000-1,500 participants with disabilities and their families at the Capital, knowing on doors, attending speeches and speaking directly with legislators.
The Network will be offering transportation from Springfield to Jefferson City and back, including limited wheelchair accessible placement. This is an amazing event and will open your eyes to the voting power of persons with disabilities. You can contact The Network at 417-895-7464.
