DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - July 21, 2008) - Disaboom (OTCBB : DSBO ) (www.disaboom.com), the
premier online community and resource for people touched by disability,
today announced that it will webcast the National Forum on Disability
Issues, a historic, nonpartisan forum held in Columbus, Ohio, which allows
the presidential candidates to present their visions for the future of
disability policy in America. The forum will be webcast live on
disaboom.com Saturday, July 26, 2008, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. EDT. To view
the live webcast, prior registration is required at
www.disaboom.com/AAPDSignUp.aspx. A video of the forum will also be
available for download at disaboom.com following the live webcast.
The event, organized by the American Association for People with
Disabilities (AAPD), offers a unique opportunity for the presidential
candidates to reach voters with disabilities. Presumptive presidential
nominees, Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, have both been
invited to participate and present their disability policy plans
individually. Presentations will be followed by a moderated question and
answer session, which will cover such topics as employment, healthcare,
long-term community-based support, transportation, education and more.
"In this historic election year, it's vital that politicians recognize the
importance of voters with disabilities," said Dr. Glen House, founder of
Disaboom. "That is why we're proud to provide this free webcast to the
disability community and the community at large."
The forum will commemorate the 18th anniversary of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and address issues important to the disability
community. Disaboom encourages voters to form watching parties in order to
stimulate dialogue and ensure that people without access to a computer are
able to participate.
