Rep. Jim Ryun, R-Topeka, issued a press release about a briefing he co-sponsored last week on emergency preparedness for the disabled. He noted that Katrina reminded us not to forget about people who are physically disabled when planning for emergencies. But his briefing was focused on the deaf and hard of hearing community. This group faces challenges, but isn’t the issue how to transport people who are in wheelchairs, are blind or are in other ways physically unable to evacuate on their own?

The guy only has 5 years left in Congress. We should give him a break.
Do I hear this right, he has 5 years left? He’s a Rep., not a Senator. Shouldn’t he be up for re-election next year. Just checking…
Just remember,This is the guy that advocated arranged marriages a few years ago, and said that was what he was doing for his kids. Stealth Taliban!
