The
picket line on the Maryland Avenue side of the Department of Education
in Washington, D.C., began forming shortly after ten a.m. on Thursday,
May 26. Disabled people, rehabilitation professionals, and other concerned
citizens from as far away as Hawaii gathered to register their dismay
at the Bush administration�s plan to dismantle the country�s rehabilitation
program in the name of efficiency and cost-cutting.
