Hi Folks,
With the permission of Jim Reed, with the Lieberman Campaign, I am reposting this message that asks for voc rehab comments.
Beginning of Message
What specifically would you propose to
change Voc Rehab and make it more accountable? And can you give more detail about the kinds of problems that you feel exist in VR programs, and how
extensive across the country you think they are. I used Missouri VR for college tuition, and I thought they were decent - but I never relied on themto find a job - I take it that it is an entirely different experience.
I look forward to hearing from you and passing your comments and suggestions to the policy drafters at the campaign.
End of Message
Some background information. I have started to query the various campaigns on how they plan on helping people with disabilities find jobs. While I have not committed to supporting anyone except for the fact that it will be a democrat, I have found Mr. Reed to be the most responsive so far of all the campaigns.
He sent this message to me and I asked if I could repost it on various boards as I thought it would be more effective to get as many opinions as possible. He was totally for that idea.
Even if Mr. Lieberman is not your candidate of choice, in my opinion, it would still pay to to speak up because we need to get our voices heard.
If you prefer to email me privately, I can be reached at at [email protected].
This is our chance folks, let’s take advantage of it.
