Não vou conseguir traduzir, mas o artigo fala que o comitê de campanha do
Barak Obama (candidato a presidente dos EUA) contratou diretor só para
trabalhar na captação de votos das pessoas com deficiência.
Enquanto por aqui….bem. ..

Obama Campaign Hires New Disability Vote Director
Chicago, IL, July 21, 2008 – Kareem Dale, founder and chief executive
officer of The Dale Law Group (DLG) in Chicago, has been appointed as the
Obama campaign’s Disability Vote Director, effective July 14, 2008. Dale,
partially blind, will help broaden the campaign’s reach and involve even
more voices in this coalition for change.
In his role as Disability Vote Director, Dale will be responsible for all
disability outreach efforts for the campaign, including attending national
conferences, coordinating grassroots efforts, speaking at events as a
surrogate for the campaign, and ensuring that campaign locations are
accessible for all Americans with disabilities.
“Throughout this campaign, Barack Obama has insisted that we can change our
politics and involve new voters in the process if we focus on our common
hopes as Americans,” Campaign Manager David Plouffe said. “Kareem Dale
shares Barack Obama’s fundamental commitment to building a world free of
unnecessary barriers, stereotypes, and discrimination, and we’re excited
he’s a part of this campaign.”
Fifty-four million Americans – roughly 1 in 6 – personally experience some
form of disability. Senator Obama is committed to empowering people with
disabilities so that they can fulfill the American dream and take full
advantage of their talents and become independent, integrated members of
society. “I look forward to encouraging all Americans with disabilities to
support a candidate who is going to bring real change to their lives,” Dale
said.
Prior to his appointment as Disability Vote Director, Dale also served as a
volunteer on the Disability Policy and the Arts Policy Committees for the
Obama For America campaign. Dale is a native Chicagoan and received his
bachelor’s degree in Advertising from the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. He graduated Cum Laude with a law degree and an MBA from
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May, 1999.
