ADAPT, AAPD, National Council on Independent Living (NCIL), and Self Advocates Becoming Empowered (SABE) have worked collaboratively to create a list of questions to present to presidential candidates that reflect the issues most important to our members (reproduced below). We have sent this list of questions along with personalized cover letters signed by all four organizations to the following list of candidates, requesting their responses as soon as possible but no later than May 31, 2007. Once we receive their responses, we will post them to our websites, circulate them in our newsletters, and send them out over JFA and other national listservs to help educate our members as to where the candidates stand on a number of disability issues. Ask Candidates to Answer the Questions! We encourage you to help generate some friendly encouragement for candidates’ prompt responses and attention to our issues. Contact these candidates’ campaigns and encourage them to have the candidates respond to the ADAPT/ AAPD/ NCIL/ SABE list of questions that was sent to them recently. Ask them to send the responses electronically to Anne Sommers at aapdanne@earthlink.net. Most of the official campaign websites provide phone numbers, mailing addresses, and online forms in which you can enter questions or concerns. Use one or all of these methods to communicate with each candidate. Voter Registration:
