Disaboom to Raise the Volume of the "Unheard Voice" of Disability Community at the Democratic National Convention

DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - August 14, 2008) - Disaboom (OTCBB: DSBO) (www.disaboom.com), the premier online community for people touched by disability, today announced that it will help the voice of the disability community to be heard at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver through the "Unheard Voice," a series of disability-focused events and activities. The series of "Unheard Voice" events, most of which are open to the public, will showcase the political issues of importance to people with disabilities, display accessible recreation opportunities and demonstrate how people with disabilities express themselves through visual and performing arts.

"People with disabilities represent 15 percent of the U.S. population, 37 million of us are registered voters, and politically, our voices haven't been heard -- we are the unheard voice of this nation," said Dr. Glen House, founder of Disaboom and a quadriplegic himself. "The Denver 2008 Host Committee has afforded Disaboom and other disability organizations the unique opportunity to talk about the issues of importance to our community and to showcase the ways we've turned disability into ability on a national scale."

Disability-related events taking place during the Democratic National Convention include the following:
