Press Release Summary: People with Disabilities Seek Additional Political Dialogue
on Topics Such as Healthcare, Accessibility and Unemployment

Press Release Body: Denver, CO - August 27, 2008 - 91 percent of people with
disabilities think they receive less attention than other minority groups from the
presidential candidates, according to a poll recently conducted by Disaboom (OTCBB:
DSBO, www.disaboom.com), the premier online community for people with disabilities.
With the current conventions and upcoming debates, people with disabilities are
looking to the presidential candidates to present opinions, insights and solutions
about topics that affect them, the largest minority group in America.

A recent Kelton Research study, commissioned by Disaboom, also indicated that one in
four Americans believe that people with disabilities receive less support from the
presidential candidates.

"This community is made up of 54 million Americans and can significantly impact the
popular vote. And still, most members of our community feel that they receive
little attention from the presidential candidates and from the political system as a
whole," said Dr. Glen House, founder of Disaboom and a quadriplegic himself. "Our
national research indicates that our unheard voice is eager to be heard on topics
such as healthcare, accessibility, veterans' issues and unemployment."

This announcement follows Disaboom's recent findings that 57 percent of people with
disabilities support Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election.

Voice," at the Democratic National Convention, a series of disability-related events
and activities aimed at showcasing the political and social issues of importance to
people with disabilities.

About the Kelton Research Survey
The Disaboom Survey was conducted by Kelton Research between August 14 and August
21, 2008 using an email invitation and an online survey. Quotas are set to ensure
reliable and accurate representation of the total U.S. population ages 18 and over.
Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the
variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of
the percentages expressing the results. In this particular study, the chances are 95
in 100 that a survey result does not vary, plus or minus, by more than 3.1
percentage points from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been
conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample.
