>What was great was that while we were not perfect, thousands and
>thousands of people worked every day extremely hard and tirelessly to
>try and obtain perfection on behalf of and in support of the disability
>community. I witnessed so many stories throughout the campaign and
>particularly yesterday about our efforts to turn out the disability vote
>and it truly was mind boggling.

>And all capped off by our next President signaling that change has come
>by including persons with disabilities in his historic acceptance
>speech.
