WAHINGTON, DC--
President Obama nominated Seth Harris for Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor. His confirmation hearing is scheduled to go before the Senate on Thursday May 7, 2009 at 10:00am. Seth is a strong advocate for people with disabilities. He championed multiple employment and labor initiatives in and out of government to advance employment opportunities for people with disabilities. He provided essential leadership to the Presidential Task Force on the Employment of Adults with Disabilities. If you are in the DC Metro area or surrounding areas, Justice for All encourages you to get friends and family in the disability community to attend his confirmation hearing.

President Obama is interested in making several changes. I only hope that these changes benefit the whole Nation.
I believe that individuals with disabilities need to feel welcome and needed into the work force. If more opportunities and accommodations are provided for them the benefit will go both ways, their families and the economy.

It sounds great...
It seems like the President is doing a good job. However, I agree with Mary Carmen, hopefully the whole nation will benefit from the changes. Hopefully, Seth Harris will continue advocating for people with disabilities.
