's Law signed

President Obama signed 's Law on Oct. 5. If you don't know what that is, why are you on this website?

This is the link to the federal law:

Now the U.S. Government, thanks to Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), and the State of land no longer use the words "mentally retarded" and "mental retardation." Forty-nine states to go.

I put the text link up there so you can print it and show it to your state elected officials.

This is so AWESOME. I find this term so offensive. It makes me cringe.They use it in Nevada and Davey was "classified" with this term when he entered first grade. How did he change from developmentally delayed.Spread the word to end the r-word. Love life and be gentle, President Obama signed 's Law on Oct. 5.
