They understand the issues and concerns of all stakeholders. They are not self-serving or easily manipulated by others. They recognize that it is unreasonable to expect policy makers, or anyone else, to have our level of understanding of disability issues, if they have not had our experience. Those who live with the reality of disability and those who genuinely care about improving disability policy need more allies - not more enemies. Instead of allowing ourselves to become involved in partisanship, I am optimistic that we will be wise in our advocacy strategies and contribute to a more productive 106th Congress.
