8/8/2008 Disabled Wife Carol McCain, John McCain callously left behind. | Posted by: Edward Janus | Disability Advocate and ActivistTechnorati Tags: Persons With Disabilities,Disability Issues,Disability Rights,Disability News,Disability Information,Disability Alerts,Disability Advocate,Disability Activist Posted by: Edward Janus | Disability Advocate and Activist Please READ about Disabled Wife Carol McCain, John McCain callously left behind.The wife John McCain callously left behind | Mail Online Now that Hillary Clinton has at last formally withdrawn from the race for the White House, the eyes of America and the world will focus on Barack Obama and his Republican rival Senator John McCain. While Obama will surely press his credentials as the embodiment of the American dream – a handsome, charismatic young black man who was raised on food stamps by a single mother and who represents his country’s future – McCain will present himself as a selfless, principled war hero whose campaign represents not so much a battle for the presidency of the United States, but a crusade to rescue the nation’s tarnished reputation. McCain likes to illustrate his moral fibre by referring to his five years as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam. And to demonstrate his commitment to family values, the 71-year-old former US Navy pilot pays warm tribute to his beautiful blonde wife, Cindy, with whom he has four children. But there is another Mrs McCain who casts a ghostly shadow over the Senator’s presidential campaign. She is seldom seen and rarely written about, despite being mother to McCain’s three eldest children. And yet, had events turned out differently, it would be she, rather than Cindy, who would be vying to be First Lady. She is McCain’s first wife, Carol, who was a famous beauty and a successful swimwear model when they married in 1965. She was the woman McCain dreamed of during his long incarceration and torture in Vietnam’s infamous ‘Hanoi Hilton’ prison and the woman who faithfully stayed at home looking after the children and waiting anxiously for news. But when McCain returned to America in 1973 to a fanfare of publicity and a handshake from Richard Nixon, he discovered his wife had been disfigured in a terrible car crash three years earlier. Her car had skidded on icy roads into a telegraph pole on Christmas Eve, 1969. Her pelvis and one arm were shattered by the impact and she suffered massive internal injuries. When Carol was discharged from hospital after six months of life-saving surgery, the prognosis was bleak. In order to save her legs, surgeons had been forced to cut away huge sections of shattered bone, taking with it her tall, willowy figure. She was confined to a wheelchair and was forced to use a catheter. Through sheer hard work, Carol learned to walk again. But when John McCain came home from Vietnam, she had gained a lot of weight and bore little resemblance to her old self. Today, she stands at just 5ft4in and still walks awkwardly, with a pronounced limp. Her body is held together by screws and metal plates and, at 70, her face is worn by wrinkles that speak of decades of silent suffering. For nearly 30 years, Carol has maintained a dignified silence about the accident, McCain and their divorce. But last week at the bungalow where she now lives at Virginia Beach, a faded seaside resort 200 miles south of Washington, she told The Mail on Sunday how McCain divorced her in 1980 and married Cindy, 18 years his junior and the heir to an Arizona brewing fortune, just one month later. Carol insists she remains on good terms with her ex-husband, who agreed as part of their divorce settlement to pay her medical costs for life. ‘I have no bitterness,’ she says. ‘My accident is well recorded. I had 23 operations, I am five inches shorter than I used to be and I was in hospital for six months. It was just awful, but it wasn’t the reason for my divorce. ‘My marriage ended because John McCain didn’t want to be 40, he wanted to be 25. You know that happens...it just does.’ Some of McCain’s acquaintances are less forgiving, however. They portray the politician as a self-centred womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ‘play the field’. They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons. McCain was then earning little more than £25,000 a year as a naval officer, while his new father-in-law, Jim Hensley, was a multi-millionaire who had impeccable political connections. He first met Carol in the Fifties while he was at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis. He was a privileged, but rebellious scion of one of America’s most distinguished military dynasties – his father and grandfather were both admirals. But setting out to have a good time, the young McCain hung out with a group of young officers who called themselves the ‘Bad Bunch’. His primary interest was women and his conquests ranged from a knife-wielding floozy nicknamed ‘Marie, the Flame of Florida’ to a tobacco heiress. Carol fell into his fast-living world by accident. She escaped a poor upbringing in Philadelphia to become a successful model, married an Annapolis classmate of McCain’s and had two children – Douglas and Andrew – before renewing what one acquaintance calls ‘an old flirtation’ with McCain. It seems clear she was bowled over by McCain’s attention at a time when he was becoming bored with his playboy lifestyle. ‘He was 28 and ready to settle down and he loved Carol’s children,’ recalled another Annapolis graduate, Robert Timberg, who wrote The Nightingale’s Song, a bestselling biography of McCain and four other graduates of the academy. The couple married and McCain adopted Carol’s sons. Their daughter, Sidney, was born a year later, but domesticity was clearly beginning to bore McCain – the couple were regarded as ‘fixtures on the party circuit’ before McCain requested combat duty in Vietnam at the end of 1966. He was assigned as a bomber pilot on an aircraft carrier in the Gulf of Tonkin. What follows is the stuff of the McCain legend. He was shot down over Hanoi in October 1967 on his 23rd mission over North Vietnam and was badly beaten by an angry mob when he was pulled, half-drowned from a lake. Over the next five-and-a-half years in the notorious Hoya Loa Prison he was regularly tortured and mistreated. It was in 1969 that Carol went to spend the Christmas holiday – her third without McCain – at her parents’ home. After dinner, she left to drop off some presents at a friend’s house. It wasn’t until some hours later that she was discovered, alone and in terrible pain, next to the wreckage of her car. She had been hurled through the windscreen. After her first series of life-saving operations, Carol was told she may never walk again, but when doctors said they would try to get word to McCain about her injuries, she refused, insisting: ‘He’s got enough problems, I don’t want to tell him.’ H. Ross Perot, a billionaire Texas businessman, future presidential candidate and advocate of prisoners of war, paid for her medical care. When McCain – his hair turned prematurely white and his body reduced to little more than a skeleton – was released in March 1973, he told reporters he was overjoyed to see Carol again. But friends say privately he was ‘appalled’ by the change in her appearance. At first, though, he was kind, assuring her: ‘I don’t look so good myself. It’s fine.’ He bought her a bungalow near the sea in Florida and another former POW helped him to build a railing so she could pull herself over the dunes to the water. ‘I thought, of course, we would live happily ever after,’ says Carol. But as a war hero, McCain was moving in ever-more elevated circles. Through Ross Perot, he met Ronald Reagan, then Governor of California. A sympathetic Nancy Reagan took Carol under her wing. But already the McCains’ marriage had begun to fray. ‘John started carousing and running around with women,’ said Robert Timberg. McCain has acknowledged that he had girlfriends during this time, without going into details. Some friends blame his dissatisfaction with Carol, but others give some credence to her theory of a mid-life crisis. He was also fiercely ambitious, but it was clear he would never become an admiral like his illustrious father and grandfather and his thoughts were turning to politics. In 1979 – while still married to Carol – he met Cindy at a cocktail party in Hawaii. Over the next six months he pursued her, flying around the country to see her. Then he began to push to end his marriage. Carol and her children were devastated. ‘It was a complete surprise,’ says Nancy Reynolds, a former Reagan aide. ‘They never displayed any difficulties between themselves. I know the Reagans were quite shocked because they loved and respected both Carol and John.’ Another friend added: ‘Carol didn’t fight him. She felt her infirmity made her an impediment to him. She justified his actions because of all he had gone through. She used to say, “He just wants to make up for lost time.”’ Indeed, to many in their circle the saddest part of the break-up was Carol’s decision to resign herself to losing a man she says she still adores. Friends confirm she has remained friends with McCain and backed him in all his campaigns. ‘He was very generous to her in the divorce but of course he could afford to be, since he was marrying Cindy,’ one observed. McCain transferred the Florida beach house to Carol and gave her the right to live in their jointly-owned townhouse in the Washington suburb of Alexandria. He also agreed to pay her alimony and child support. A former neighbour says she subsequently sold up in Florida and Washington and moved in 2003 to Virginia Beach. He said: ‘My impression was that she found the new place easier to manage as she still has some difficulties walking.’ Meanwhile McCain moved to Arizona with his new bride immediately after their 1980 marriage. There, his new father-in-law gave him a job and introduced him to local businessmen and political powerbrokers who would smooth his passage to Washington via the House of Representatives and Senate. And yet despite his popularity as a politician, there are those who won’t forget his treatment of his first wife. Ted Sampley, who fought with US Special Forces in Vietnam and is now a leading campaigner for veterans’ rights, said: ‘I have been following John McCain’s career for nearly 20 years. I know him personally. There is something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is – deceit. ‘When he came home and saw that Carol was not the beauty he left behind, he started running around on her almost right away. Everybody around him knew it. ‘Eventually he met Cindy and she was young and beautiful and very wealthy. At that point McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought was better. ‘This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. He has no character. He is a fake. If there was any character in that first marriage, it all belonged to Carol.’ One old friend of the McCains said: ‘Carol always insists she is not bitter, but I think that’s a defense mechanism. She also feels deeply in his debt because in return for her agreement to a divorce, he promised to pay for her medical care for the rest of her life.’ Carol remained resolutely loyal as McCain’s political star rose. She says she agreed to talk to The Mail on Sunday only because she wanted to publicize her support for the man who abandoned her. Indeed, the old Mercedes that she uses to run errands displays both a disabled badge and a sticker encouraging people to vote for her ex-husband. ‘He’s a good guy,’ she assured us. ‘We are still good friends. He is the best man for president.’ But Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel – even by the standards of modern politics. ‘McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory,’ he said. ‘After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.’ My name is Edward Janus. Sincerely, EdwardJanus.net Disability Online Network Services 8/7/2008 Emerging Trends and People with Disabilities: Public Consultation.

7/30/2008 Department of Justice Proposes Changes in ADA Title II and Title III Regulations : Your Comments NeededPosted by: ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! From the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) and other disability rights attorneys and advocates Department of Justice Proposes Vast Changes in ADA Regulations YOUR COMMENTS URGENTLY NEEDED! The Department of Justice recently issued major proposed revisions to its regulations implementing Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The deadline for comments is August 18, 2008. Some of DOJ’s changes are excellent, and urgently needed. It is important that the disability community laud these, to support DOJ against industry attack. Good proposals include adoption of the new 2004 ADAAG, stronger hotel reservation and ticketing provisions, recognition of psychiatric service animals, additional companion seating in theaters and stadiums, and stronger provisions for effective communication for people with hearing, visual, and speech disabilities. However, there are also many draconian changes that would radically reduce the rights of people with disabilities to accessible facilities. For example, DOJ proposes:
DOJ must receive a flood of comments from the disability community in favor of a strong, comprehensive ADA. Comments must defend the principle of individual, case-by-case assessment, which DOJ is largely abandoning in favor of many blanket reductions. We must remind DOJ that the ADA is already carefully crafted to take the needs of covered entities into account, and that reductions to our civil rights would be a devastating blow to our daily lives. Links to draft comments are below to help you write your own comments. The links are organized by topic. Some of the links may not be complete yet – check back for additions and changes. Important: Your comments will have the most impact if you revise our drafts to add your own thoughts, and especially your own personal experiences or those of friends, family, colleagues or clients with disabilities. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD: SEND IN YOUR COMMENTS! TOPICS IN THE DOJ PROPOSALS ARE:
Definition of “existing facility” Comment on the Regulatory Impact Analysis Title II Complaint Process Communications; auxiliary aids and services Seating and ticketing in assembly areas Wheelchairs and other power-driven mobility devices Prisons, jails and the Prison Litigation Reform Act Social service agencies, transient lodging, and dormitories Recreation Facilities and Play Areas (general comments) Questions concerning specific 2004 ADAAG Standards (General comments)

7/25/2008 Persons with Disabilities News Update Weblog Post #3 July 25, 2008 | Posted by: Edward Janus | Disability Advocate and Activist.Subject: Obama Campaign Hires New Disability Vote Director. Posted by: Edward Janus | Disability Advocate and Activist. Hello, my name is Edward Janus. I am a Disability Advocate and Activist. My Campaign and Mission is Fighting for Persons With Disabilities and Making Our Voices Heard. My motto is The Organizing Power of the Internet Empower Persons With Disabilities©. I am a big supporter and fan of Senator Barack Obama; this has no reflection on him personally. However, in the past I have had numerous problems communicating with the campaign staff and the web site administrators on disability related issues. They would never reply or answer any of my e-mails or posts. The rest is a long story – I will save for another time. I know, that other Persons With Disabilities on the Obama Campaign Web Site have had bad experiences also. I did not, say too much, or get involved with others. Now for many months, I pretty much have been following and reading everything that has been happening in regards to Disability Related Issues on the Obama for America web site (http://www.barackobama.com). I applaud this move and I think this was a great addition to the Campaign? - And a Victory for all Persons with Disabilities. Now, I feel like they will really be taking the Disability Community’s and our Grassroots Coalition more serious. I hope that this will be a Good Start towards getting the campaign staff and web administrators on track to better understanding of our needs and issues. In case you missed it – see letter below. <====== Copy of the Original Letter from Obama for America Campaign Web site =======> Kareem Dale, National Disability Vote Director, Obama for America Campaign Continues to Strengthen Constituency Vote Operation Chicago, IL - Kareem Dale, founder and chief executive officer of The Dale Law Group (DLG) in Chicago. Has been appointed as the Obama campaign's Disability Vote Director, effective July 14, 2008. Dale, partially blind, will help broaden the campaign's reach and involve even more voices in this coalition for change. In his role as Disability Vote Director, Dale will be responsible for all disability outreach efforts for the campaign, including attending national conferences, coordinating grassroots efforts, speaking at events as a surrogate for the campaign, and ensuring that campaign locations are accessible for all Americans with disabilities. "Throughout this campaign, Barack Obama has insisted that we can change our politics and involve new voters in the process if we focus on our common hopes as Americans," Campaign Manager David Plouffe said. "Kareem Dale shares Barack Obama's fundamental commitment to building a world free of unnecessary barriers, stereotypes, and discrimination, and we're excited he's a part of this campaign." Fifty-four million Americans - roughly 1 in 6 - personally experience some form of disability. Senator Obama is committed to empowering people with disabilities so that they can fulfill the American dream and take full advantage of their talents, and become independent, integrated members of society. "I look forward to encouraging all Americans with disabilities to support a candidate who is going to bring real change to their lives," Dale said. Prior to his appointment as Disability Vote Director, Dale also served as a volunteer on the Disability Policy and the Arts Policy Committees for the Obama for America campaign. Dale is a native Chicagoan and received his bachelor's degree in Advertising from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He graduated Cum Laude with a law degree and an MBA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 1999. <========================== End Letter =======================> Sincerely, Edward Janus | Disability Advocate and Activist 10707 Wrightwood Ave. Northlake, IL. 60164 E-mails: EdwardJanus@msn.com EdwardJanus.net Online Network Services.

My Campaign and Mission is Fighting for the Disabled Community by Making Our Voices Heard. My motto: The Organizing Power of the Internet Empower Persons With Disabilities. My online activism web site: www.EdwardJanus.net Tens of millions of Americans rely upon an open Internet in their daily lives. And the Disabled Community depends on it because if they are homebound, shut-In, live alone and have no means of transportation. All their Outside Business may be done through the Internet Only. For Persons With Disabilities, if they live alone this means SURVIVAL. Like myself, I am a permanently disabled, amputee, and confined to a wheelchair. Also being deaf cannot hear on the telephone. All my ‘Outside Business’ is done through the ‘Internet Online’ such as my banking, paying my bill’s, making purchases, filling out business forms and documents, writing emails and letters, looking up important information and I order groceries right to my front door. This is My ONLY means to ‘Outside World’ and Doing My Daily Business and Tasks. And running my house. Our elected leaders must protect our basic right to communicate from those who want to take it from us. The legislation calls for a nationwide series of public hearings about what the future of the Internet should look like -- an important step to bring these crucial issues into the light of day. I have already written several letters to politicians, signed a bunch of petitions and posted all over the blogs and web sites regarding all the Save the Internet and Net Issues.

Posted by: Edward Janus, Disability Advocate and Activist.Dear Friends, We need your help! Social Security is the nation's oldest and most successful family economic security program. Among its many beneficiaries are nearly six million Americans with disabilities, many of whom rely upon their monthly Social Security checks for all or much of their monthly income. Social Security faces some long-term funding shortfalls that everyone agrees we need to address so the system will continue to pay full benefits for many decades to come. While there are a number of ways we could address this problem, President Bush and many Congressional Republicans favor a radical plan to privatize Social Security, substantially altering the nature of this bedrock program. Among the many losers under a privatized system are Americans with disabilities, whose benefits would likely be cut to help finance this expensive and risky program. Urge Congress to oppose any Social Security reform that significantly reduces benefits that disabled Americans depend on to live. My name is Edward Janus. I am a Disability Advocate and Activist.
