Event Summary:
The National Forum on Disability Issues, featuring the 2008 Presidential Candidates (invited) is a historic, nonpartisan forum on national disability policy to be held on July 26, 2008 in Columbus, Ohio at the Conference & Technology Center of the First Church of God - an accessibility-friendly venue that will accommodate our large numbers of attendees.

The forum will feature time slots for the presidential candidates to individually present their visions for the future of disability policy in America (including employment, healthcare, long-term community-based supports, transportation, education, etc.) followed by questions by Judy Woodruff, news anchor and journalist ("The News Hour with Jim Lehrer"), who will act as the moderator.

This presidential candidates forum builds on the success of our November primary-focused forum in New Hampshire, where the disability community made history with its first-ever disability presidential candidates forum with participation from seven presidential candidates, five of them in person.
