Here at Disaboom.com, we’re excited to announce that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is now a member and participant in the Disaboom community.  Senator Obama has chosen Disaboom as his primary venue for outreach and discussion regarding his positions on disability issues.  He currently has a profile on the site, complete with a link to his comprehensive disability platform and a blog that he will be regularly posting to.

The addition of Senator Obama’s campaign to Disaboom represents one of the many steps Disaboom will be taking to ensure that those with disabilities have access to the information and resources they need to make an informed choice in the 2008 election. Over the next six months, we aspire to provide comprehensive coverage of the disability-related political issues that affect our users.

Besides Senator Obama, Disaboom is working to bring a variety of other political candidates to our community.  Our hope is that they will use Disaboom as a forum to effectively address the concerns of the disability community.  However, the success of this strategy is based on having a user base that actively engages the candidates, which is why we need your support. 

We know that Disaboomers are passionate about politics and about advocacy; we also know that you’re concerned about issues like healthcare, assistive technology, accessible transportation, employment discrimination, the war in Iraq, the economy, and many more.  Now, you have a forum to not only voice your questions, but to get answers.

Want to know Senator Obama’s position on the issues that mean the most to you? Then post a question as a comment on one of his blogs, and don’t be surprised if he addresses it specifically in a day or two.  Don’t agree with his opinion?  Well, you’ve got an open forum to let him know.

At Disaboom, we believe that democracy is not just about pulling a lever. It’s about asking questions, inciting dialogue, voicing opinions, and using your voice to help guide the course your nation will take.

So stop by Senator Obama’s profile and leave a comment, some feedback, or a gripe if you so desire. He’s now officially a member of Disaboom.com, and he’s eager to communicate with you.
