WASHINGTON, July 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being issued by the Democratic National Committee:

Marca Bristo, former Chair of the National Council on Disabilities, and Bob Kafka, National Organizer for ADAPT, held a conference call today in advance of John McCain's appearance via satellite at the National Forum on Disability Issues in Columbus, Ohio. There is speculation that Senator McCain will follow Senator Obama's lead and support the Community Choice Act, despite publicly opposing the legislation as recently as this month.

The bill is a top legislative priority for all Americans with disabilities. Senator McCain has strongly opposed the legislation.
