Dignity for the Disabled, Inc., is a nonprofit Florida organization that consists of people with disabilities, as well their supporters. Only people with disabilities may be officers. The organization was founded in 1985. Gene Bybel was the first president until his sudden death due to a heart attack. Robert Spitalnick was one of our initial directors and he also has passed away. This web page is dedicated to their memory as they were among the finest advocates for people with disabilities.

ARCHIVES on this page: The 2006 item is the wicked veto of Jeb Bush article, which will remain posted until he goes over to the other side and meets his maker. The 2005 item under Archives is more of Jeb Bush and his veto pen.

THE REPORT ADA CAPITOL REPORT, POSTED IN 2004 is located on the OLD SITE, on the barriers in our Capitol Building in Tallahassee, FL, perpetuated by Chiles, Bush and Crist. The cabinet members are all partly responsible for the restrooms not being accessible for people in wheelchairs. The Federal Department of Justice/Civil Rights Division has chose not to sue the current and past Governor's for this 18 year old ADA violations report.

The goals of Dignity have always been educational and to provide information on disability issues. There has never been any paid staff, and any donations have went towards travel expenses and printing expenses.

Many members of Dignity belong to the Florida Paraplegic Association and work closely with the real people with disabilities organizations which consist of strong advocates with disabilities who are also strong advocates of disability issues. The real advocates are the ones on the "front lines" working to change the status quo in regards to removal of physical and attitudinal barriers.
