Nadar's never had power, never willing to start locally or Congressionally. We have had several wonderful disability rights advocates who have bombed as administration people. They got more legislation, motivated more people, and more change outside than in. From experience, I have a good idea of what I would get with Bush or Gore. However, I don't with Nadar inside government.
Advocates are better judges and legislators than administrators.
I am a person who lives on the margin, and it does make a huge difference who is President or Governor. Even if it is only a few more paratransit buses. It is not the grandiose policy rhetoric, it is the combination of small things. Who hires what regional director. How a policy regulation or evaluation is done, and how the person doing it is judged by their supervisors.
