We've been having problems with both Rapidshare and Scribd for hosting larger documents, such as the full DDRA and various longer reports. For these reasons, we're going to be migrating larger files to Google Docs over the next few days. Shorter documents (fact sheets etc.) will remain on Scribd.
If you're having problems downloading any document, please don't hesitate to email tjsutcliffe[at]arcdc[dot]net and I can email you the document directly.
Thanks to everyone for your patience!

This blog is dedicated to helping people learn about a new bill to modernize the law, and get involved. This blog was created by the DDS MAC Legislative Committee but is now maintained by community advocates. Check back often for updates!
