Hi Everyone,

Yesterday, you may (or may not) have received an email from Bruce Darling about signing up for the New York Disability Vote Network.  Bruce stressed the importance of creating this voting bloc in order to show our elected leaders that we’re paying attention to how they vote on issues related to our consumers and people with disabilities in general.

In order for this voting bloc to be fully effective, we need as many people as possible in the database.  But we don’t need just anyone.  We need people with disabilities AND those who care about them.  Whether we’re working to get the Community First Choice in New York, to create more affordable, accessible, integrated housing or to make sure Medicaid reimbursement rates are at appropriate levels, a large group of voters in the New York Disability Vote Network will send a clear signal to elected officials that they need to consider us when they are in Albany, Washington and even City Hall.

So please sign up as soon as you can at http://www.nydvn.org/individual-signup.

If you are already signed up or after you do so today, please share this link with consumers you work with, family and friends.

This is an important tool in our advocacy efforts.  Thank you for helping make it the most effective one it can be!

Thank you,Dean DeRusso

  5. May I simply say what a relief to find an individual who really understands what they are talking about on the net. You certainly know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. A lot more people need to read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular since you certainly possess the gift.

  6. Having read this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you spending some time and energy to put this short article together. I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!
