91% of People With Disabilities Believe They Receive Less Attention From Presidential Candidates Than Other Groups

DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - August 27, 2008) - 91 percent of people with disabilities think they receive less attention than other minority groups from the presidential candidates, according to a poll recently conducted by Disaboom (OTCBB: DSBO) (www.disaboom.com), the premier online community for people with disabilities. With the current conventions and upcoming debates, people with disabilities are looking to the presidential candidates to present opinions, insights and solutions about topics that affect them, the largest minority group in America.

A recent Kelton Research study, commissioned by Disaboom, also indicated that one in four Americans believe that people with disabilities receive less support from the presidential candidates.

"This community is made up of 54 million Americans and can significantly impact the popular vote. And still, most members of our community feel that they receive little attention from the presidential candidates and from the political system as a whole," said Dr. Glen House, founder of Disaboom and a quadriplegic himself. "Our national research indicates that our unheard voice is eager to be heard on topics such as healthcare, accessibility, veterans' issues and unemployment."

This announcement follows Disaboom's recent findings that 57 percent of people with disabilities support Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election.
