What are the questions for candidates?

The Interfaith Disability Advocacy Coalition (IDAC) has created five disability related questions for members of faith and spiritual communities to ask candidates running for federal, state, and local office in 2012. The questions cover areas of importance to IDAC and the disability community: independence and community living, employment, education, and access to health care. This resource can be used by congregations and religious organizations to question candidates in public appearances, create a public record of their positions, and inform them about issues that affect people with disabilities, their families, and their communities.
