Melissa, thanks for spreading the word on the court decision. You are an incredible advocate for people with disabilities, and I commend you for doing so many things especially while getting your degree at ASU. Love to meet you some day! (I’m a board member for Arizona Center for Disability Law, & have an editing/writing/Web development/small biz business as well. I always make time to advocate these issues on the Web.)
Thank you Judy – two semesters left and I’m done. This semester has really tested me on so many levels.
