This is TERRIBLE and this EO should be fired or severly punished for this! I am not a lawyer either, but there are some common sense as well as legal issues here. Read about the legal issues here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabil…

How much do you want THAT job? How easy is it to find a new job for you? How confident are you that would find another good job? Since your daughter is recently diagnosed, you may want to concentrate on that for now and give this a pass and get back…

Should Obama Get Rid of Rahm Emanuel???
I think that the answer is YES! I think it is time for Rahm Emanuel to go. See my reason on my wheelchair blog.I think that everyone in this disability community should let their opinion be known.   Get rid of Emanuel or Not???

New Mobility Scooter Website

I have been working a new mobility scooter website. It has articles of interest to those who are interested in mobility scooters. I am still developing the content a bit, but it is already quite advanced. If you are a user of a mobility scooter I would appreciate any suggestions for improvement or suggestions for new article development.

Interview With a Paralympic Legend : Martin Braxenthaler

If you are following the winter Paralympics at all, you probably heard about Martin Braxenthaler. He has just won 2 Gold Medals in Alpine Skiing in 2010 Paralympics bringing his total to 9 Gold medals in 4 Paralympics. Martin Braxenthaler has been called "the most successful mono-skier in the history of the Paralympic movement". I did an interview with Martin Braxenthaler!! I am naturally pretty excited about it.

hello sorry I haven't responded sooner Unfortunately there is not currently a feature for adding polls to posts or discussions in this community however I know there are sites that let you create polls for free and then add them to any website using JavaScript or HTML I will try to find one and get back to you. It's very possible that the ability to make polls will be added to this community itself in the future. I will make that suggestion to Ning the service I used to create this community.

Hello Gene
how are you today? it was my pleasure to bring the communities attention to your "Jobs for Disabled People" article. Thank you for bringing the article to my attention. You did a great job on the article. I'm glad this community was able to give you helpful yet honest feedback that's exactly the kind of environment I'm trying to foster here.
