Compare the Candidates

Who you gonna vote for? Obama? McCain? How about Nader? A lot of us need some help to decide. We’re wondering where the candidates stand on disability issues.

Well, help is on the way. Access Press has come up with a simple chart.

We’ve got two weeks left. Study the chart with friends. Find out who supports the programs you use—who stands with the disability community.

And don’t forget to vote.
