As a special education teacher, this will help my students find jobs within the community. Many of my students would welcome employers to help when seeking a job and be available to them at a central meeting place.

I think this is going to be a wonderful event. So many of our people with disabilities have so much to offer, if only they were given a chance. It brings a smile to my face every time I go out to a store or restaurant and see one of my former students being productive and actually enjoying what they are doing.

My brother was born with a emotional and learning disability, therefore, I applaud the federal government for giving men and women with disabilities the opportunity to become federal employees. With billions of our tax dollars wasted every year, it is great to see our government putting out tax dollars to a great use by paying these men and women for an honest days work.
