The qualifying definition being proposed is designed perfectly to undercount disabled people in America.
My submitted public comment:
Curtailing the allowed scope to describe disabled people is a form of erasure that will not only infringe on the rights of many citizens, but will also undermine the entire purpose of collecting accurate information about the population. I want my government, for the people by the people, to accurate acknowledge people like me, and all of us in America. Do not go forward with allowing the US Census Bureau to be used to create deliberate miscounting as a tool in some agenda of anti-government extremist political aims.
