Cast Your Ballot..

     On June 25th it came time for the people of Mass. to do a state senate election. I used my title to do a meet and greet with the people that were going to the poles. I feel as though, as Ms. Wheelchair Mass., it is very important that we set the example from a political perspective, in order to make our vote count and have our voice heard. There are so many issues, including accessibility, health care, employment, education, etc. that affect individuals with disabilities on a daily basis that if we choose not to get out and vote, we are not taking seriously our role as advocates for each other. It is so important that we make law makers understand that individuals with disabilities are a group of consumers who have very strong opinions and can be politically powerful. Until next time, Advocate, Educate, and Empower.
