And they're Off!

The races have already begun around Georgia for the 2007 election. We hope that this blog will be a source of election information for you throughout the coming months - adding information on disabilities. There are 236 elected legislators throughout the state - and there will be thousands of candidates running for those seats...

We promise to encourage you to get involve with your location election, and education as much as possible on their positions on issues of disabilities. There are some legislators that have already proven themselves in this last budget process, answered our questions - and with your help, we will continue to ask them to take a stand...We will post their responses on our website.

And of course, in the coming months we will be discussing our legislative agenda for the coming year...we have proven that starting early only makes us stronger.
