One Percent Coalition
On October 6, 2005, Taylor spoke at a press conference on Capitol Hill, on behalf of the One Percent Coalition. Also speaking at this press conference were Senators Pat Roberts (R-KS), Edward Kennedy (D-MA), and former Senator Bob Dole (R-KS). This group actively supports the passage of S. 1570, The Employer Worker Incentive Act for Individuals with Severe Disabilities, which will create a government contracting preference for companies that employ significant numbers of severely disabled workers. This contracting incentive will ensure that Americans with severe disabilities have access to competitive jobs that allow them to achieve personal and economic self-sufficiency. Achieving this goal of helping 1% (94,000) of individuals with severe disabilities find competitive employment is not unrealistic with your help.
