Update on July 26 National Forum on Disability Issues

I received the following information about the upcoming July 26 National Forum on Disability Issues from Kim Dority of Disaboom:

The live webcast for the July 26 National Forum on Disability Issues in Columbus Ohio will be hosted by Disaboom, and then archived on the site for future viewing. People can go to the site right now to register and test out their ability to access the webcast for the 26th. The Forum will be webcast 12:30-4:30, ET, and people can do a test registration at http://www.disaboom.com/AAPDSignUp.aspx.

Senator Tom Harkin has agreed to act as the Obama surrogate (Obama will be out of the country), Senator John McCain will be doing a satellite uplink from Arizona, and actor Robert David Hall will also be addressing the forum. Moderator will be Judy Woodruff (The News Hour with Jim Lehrer). Event is organized by the American Association for People with Disabilities (AAPD) and co-sponsored by over 60 national, state, and local disability groups.
