We congratulate President-Elect Barrack Obama in his historic electoral victory. The new administration will have a full plate of issues to address, not the least of which are important issues impacting the lives of people with disabilities. The Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) is a coalition of over 100 national consumer, advocacy, provider and professional organizations advocating for federal disability policies. They have issued a report with policy recommendations for the Presidential transition and the new Congress. We believe this is an important document that all advocates should read. It helps to frame critical issues to be addressed with recommendations to advance the rights and interests of the disability community. Nebraska Advocacy Services, The Center for Disability Rights, Law and Advocacy, offers this as an important informational resource to the community.
