Title: Local people take part in protests

Three local people are taking part in a series of demonstrations in San Francisco this week to draw attention to issues involving the disabled. Members of American Disabled for Attendant Program Today, a national advocacy group have protested at the San Francisco headquarters of the Bill Clinton and George bush campaigns, and at the California State Building. The group contends that federal policy favors nursing homes over home-based or community-based care. Local people taking part in the protests are Verna Spayth of Ann Arbor and Bob Liston and Mark Loeffler of Ypsilanti. ADAPT has targeted San Francisco for a different demonstration each day this week because the city is hosting the national convention of the American Health Care Association, which represents the nursing home industry.
