註釋"Voices of thousands of American's with disabilities are hard to hear. Randy Russell shares how he is giving voice to those who cannot speak and how he came to stand tall for the rights of those with disabilities even as he himself is unable to stand-alone. Issues impacting the disabled are sorely ignored not from lack of sheer numbers, their population is larger than many minority groups. But, where other minority voice have mounted effective public policy, communication and advocacy programs the disabled community often lacks effective advocates. Randy Russell who was born with profound cerebral palsy has breached the highest offices in the land with his advocacy, both in Arizona and in Washington DC. An inspiration to so many, a congressman once exclaimed, "It's hard for anyone to turn Randy down." As a profoundly disabled individual, whose own grandmother advised the two year old be institutionalized, today Randy Russell's business card says he is an advocate and a motivational speaker. Read his story, meet Randy, his parents, siblings and the army of family members, teachers, therapists and health care experts who have aided him on his journey to independence."
