About this video

A broad river passes between tree-lined banks in the opening image. This is one visual edition of a shared national message about support for living at home, public funding and government accountability. Its narration is shared with the other supplied editions; it is not a separate local investigation.

Intended audience: People with disabilities, families and supporters in Nashville, Tennessee, and across the United States.

Statements about suffering, state mismanagement and federal intervention are the speaker’s advocacy position. This recording does not name a local incident, identify a specific new rule or establish a government finding. Its city label identifies an audience. Scenic imagery is not verification of filming location, local service availability or official endorsement. The statement that only the federal government can help is advocacy, not a complete description of available services or legal remedies.

Visual information: A broad river passes between tree-lined banks in the opening image. A round portrait logo appears at the top left. Large text presents the advocacy message. The closing on-screen address is DAVID-MEDEIROS.com.

Transcript

  1. 00:00:00 Right now, Americans with disabilities are suffering.
  2. 00:00:04 The U.S. government sends money to the states for our loved ones.
  3. 00:00:07 This money helps people live at home, healthy and happy, with the families
  4. 00:00:11 they love. State governments request and receive this money from the United States
  5. 00:00:16 of America for our loved ones. The states are responsible for managing this money.
  6. 00:00:21 But across the country, people are left very poor, struggling and without help.
  7. 00:00:27 This is simple. Some states are not doing what they are supposed
  8. 00:00:30 to do with your taxpayer money. That is why the federal government is making new
  9. 00:00:34 rules and creating measurement tools. They will make sure states do what Americans
  10. 00:00:39 require and need. The federal government protects us from state mismanagement. They
  11. 00:00:45 will honor and serve Americans because only the federal government can do so.
  12. 00:00:49 We are the solution. The suffering stops now. We stop what is broken. We deliver
  13. 00:00:56 exceptional results and compassion for the greatest good. DAVID-MEDEIROS.com
