NAD CEO Howard A. Rosenblum wants you to vote for a specific question for the upcoming Presidential Debate happening on Sunday, October 9th. This debate will be a town hall format. The Commission on Presidential Debates has mandated that moderators ask questions with input from the Internet -- not just questions from voters in the physical room. This is our biggest opportunity to make a difference.

HOWARD: Hello and welcome to this month’s Ask Howard Anything (AHA)! The election is fast approaching, it is on November 8th. Are you registered and ready to vote? If you are not registered or unsure if you are registered to vote, you can check your state rules for when you must register before you vote. Each state has different rules for registering. You can easily check your state registration rules through: Link . Once you have registered or find out you are registered, you are all set to vote on November 8th. Before November 8th, how do you know who to vote for? There are many candidates running for different positions: President, Senators, Congress, and more. We need to learn what each candidate’s position is before we vote. We need to know if they will support disability rights. The NAD is neutral and will not support any candidates, but encourages everyone to find out which candidates will support deaf rights. The best way to know who supports deaf rights or disability rights is to ask questions of the candidates. The Presidential candidates have three debates, and first debate is finished. The second debate will be on October 9th. During those debates, the people preparing the debate usually decide which questions to ask the candidates. For the debate on October 9th, for the first time ever, they are asking everyone in the USA to help with the questions for the Presidential candidates! And they will choose from the top 30 most popular questions submitted. Right now, they have a website open to questions and so far there are more than 10,000 questions! We need to vote to support a question about disability rights so that it is in the top 30 of all those questions. This question will ask the Presidential candidates what their opinion is on the civil rights of people with disabilities including deaf people. This disability rights question is in the long list of 10,000 questions, but we have made it easy for you to find it.

HOWARD: Use that information and link to vote on the disability rights question so that it is ranked in the top 30. It is important that you ask your friends, family, and allies to vote on this question too to help make it reach the top 30. If this question reaches the top 30, then the debate people will choose from those 30 questions to ask them of the Presidential Candidates on October 9th. If the disability rights question is asked, it is important for us to watch what their responses are on what disability rights means to them and what they will do as President for our rights. Whether this question is asked on October 9th, we should watch and learn as much as we can before we vote on November 8th.
