President-elect Obama

PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES + MINORITIES EXCITED ABOUT PREZ-ELECT OBAMA
Looking over the information available on people groups of minority status in relation to Obama, the future looks pretty bright. That good news includes people with disabilities. According to Obama's website, people with disabilities make up about 1/6 of the U.S. Population.
The entire plan of Obama and Biden can be found at barakobama.com/pdf/DisabilitiesPlanFactSheet.pdf
regarding people with disabilities for the exact language of the plan, see some excerpts in our article on the Obama transition.
Not only folks with disabilities, but minority groups stand to benefit. One of our members belongs to the Human Rights Campaign and the Triangle Pride Political Action Committee.
Both groups sent out enthusiastic e-mails about the new opportunities President-elect Obama affords gay + lesbian and trans-gender people groups. Of course, people of various race and ethnic backgrounds have embraced Obama as well.
