Press Release
For Immediate Release.
08/12/2000 3:06 PM

The National Disability Party announces the dates for our annual
Convention.
Our Convention will take place online, September 11-15, 2000.  We will
set a
precedent by having the first political convention, online. The National
Disability Party will run the Convention as close to the format of the
other
parties' Conventions has possible.  The main difference will be
delegates
will not represent a state they will represent a disability.  I believe
that
the other parties will do online Conventions in the future.  The other
parties will see the great potential in this kind of Convention.  It is
really inexpensive, more people can be delegates, and they will get the
same
results as a conventional Convention.

Delegations are split up in to different disability groups,
non-disabled,
caregivers, and professional people who work with people with
disabilities.
There is a press box mailing list, which will keep the press up to date
on
the Convention.  If you wish to be a delegate go the National Disability
Party website at http://www.DisabilityParty.com and follow the link to
the
Convention.  Then sign up for a delegation.

If you are a person that has more than one disability.  You should
choose the
delegation of the disability that you feel would best represent you.
You may
only join one delegation.

The party will not run the delegations, the chairman, which is picked by
each
delegation will run the delegation.  The party will answer technical
questions and give each delegation the format of the Convention.

Before the Convention the delegations we decide which Presidential
candidate
the party will support between Bush, Gore, Nadar, Buchanan and or a
write in
candidate.

The delegations will meet before the Convention and will choose a
chairperson
and add to or subtract from the platform that I have created.

At the Convention will start an exploratory committee to seek people out
to
run for President and other public offices for the National Disability
Party
ticket in 2004.

At the Convention we will have a roll call vote on the platform and
another
roll call vote on which candidate we want for President.  One vote only
per
delegation.

We have asked many people to speak at the Convention.  Hopefully, some
of the
leaders of the disability movement will accept.  If you know of someone
that
you would like to speak at the Convention please write me at

The National Disability Party is not asking you to abandon your
political
party that you are currently a member, we ask you be a delegate to
communicate your personal wishes to move the disability movement into
the
future.  To guide the US in the appropriate direction to end prejudice
against people with disabilities.

You have nothing to lose and have the chance to change the country for
the
good of people with disabilities.
