Check out @ewarren on #SocialSecurity and #Employment. Thanks for sharing this video with us, Samuel. Let us know if other candidates are talking about these critical issues. #CripTheVote #PwDsVote #RevUp #VoteDisability #RespectAbility #NHpolitics

I’d like the Democratic candidates to address how they’d address the opioid crisis without punishing chronic pain patients who follow their doctors orders and need pain relief to function. #DemDebate #democraticdebate #chronicpain

[Disability Voter @disabilityvoter]

.@PeteButtigieg talks about a colleague who became an amputee while serving abroad. @JoeBiden talking about wounded soldiers returning with traumatic brain injuries. Important these disabilities are being talked about, as they are common for vets & others. #CripTheVote #DemDebate

[Kevin Landrigan @KlandriganUL]

.@JoeBiden on U.S. soldiers hurt by Iran air strikes. "Here’s what happened; they received traumatic brain injury. What did the President say? ‘Headaches. That’s all that they are.’ This guy doesn’t deserve to be President for another day.” #fitn #votersfirst #nhpolitics

[Lauren Appelbaum @laurenappelbaum]

So important for all presidential candidates to believe this, say it often & act on it. And for mainstream journalists to write about this. #PwDsVote #CripTheVote #Election2020 #nhpolitics #DemDebate

(not an endorsement as I will not endorse a candidate in any election)

BTW..here is our view from the file room at the New Hampshire #DemDebate. We were given assigned seats on the aisle to make it easier to get in and out (we both use wheelchairs). #CripTheVote #Election2020 #nhpolitics

So important that journalists with disabilities are at #DemDebate, working to ensure that disability rights issues stay on top of mind for the candidates and their staff. #PwDsVote #CripTheVote #Election2020 #nhpolitics

[Disability Voter @disabilityvoter]

We're in the media center at #DemDebate, hoping for some questions specifically relating to #disability policy tonight! #PwDsVote #CripTheVote #Election2020 #nhpolitics

.@PeteButtigieg, @amyklobuchar, @BernieSanders, @ewarren & @AndrewYang completed @Respect_Ability's #Disability #Voter #Candidate #Questionnaire: https://t.co/GxtLrPkqpV. Sent nonpartisan questionnaire to all campaigns & will posting responses upon receipt. #PwDsVote #CripTheVote

[Disability Voter @disabilityvoter]

Personal, Professional Efforts Spur @amyklobuchar’s Disability Plan: https://t.co/RDc4LC3f8w

Key highlights: commitments around long-term care, expanding healthcare access, advancing economic opportunities & promoting disability rights at home & abroad. #PwDsVote #CripTheVote

[Lauren Appelbaum @laurenappelbaum]

In closing statements, disability is mentioned, as @ewarren lists topics that were not discussed during #DemDebate: "how the disability community is struggling for true equality." She also highlighted trans women of color. #PwDsVote #CripTheVote

[Emily Schettler Boyden @eSchettler]

We're 70 minutes into the debate and 10+ minutes into a discussion on health care and not one mention of disability. #DemDebate #CriptheVote

"Anyone in their right mind" is an ableist statement, Sanders.
