If we add family members of PWD to this bloc, we are talking about a plurality of American voters--a group that can easily decide any election. So then why does the media largely ignore this massive minority population and its potential impact on our upcoming presidential election? Regardless of the specific needs, every group within the disability community would benefit from a unified agenda that would allow them to act as a voting bloc. It is not too late for the disability community to band together and make their unified voice heard. By uniting the advocacy and unifying the message of all PWD this fall, the American people and our media will turn its attention even more to the largest minority group in the United States.'
