Today, we define the rights of Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness as they relate to the largest minority in the United States of America: people with disabilities ... the disability community ... the crippled legion ... gimps.
Today, we acknowledge our right to own these rights, and we very clearly declare the identity of the policies and legislation that have, to an alarming degree, stripped us of these rights.
Today, we allow ourselves to recognize who we could be, where we could be by now, and what we could have accomplished had the "shameful walls of exclusion" actually come down in 1990 (or had they never been erected in the first place)..., where we could be by now had the shortsighted, paternalistic thought constructs that led to these oppressive policies that diminish human value rather than embrace it never been given life or been aloud to take hold, ...where we could be by now if we lived in a world where Employment Rights for People with Disabilities were the rule rather than the exception.
