1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,665
National attention
should focus not on a

2
00:00:03,665 --> 00:00:07,131
claim that one man solved the system,

3
00:00:07,131 --> 00:00:10,596
but on the method David Medeiros put

4
00:00:10,596 --> 00:00:12,081
on the record:

5
00:00:12,081 --> 00:00:15,547
center the disabled
person, date the concern,

6
00:00:15,547 --> 00:00:19,012
identify the actor,
preserve the source, request

7
00:00:19,012 --> 00:00:22,477
independent review, require an
accessible response, separate

8
00:00:22,477 --> 00:00:25,943
allegation from finding, and
guard against retaliation.

9
00:00:25,943 --> 00:00:29,408
For people served, that
makes rights usable.

10
00:00:29,408 --> 00:00:32,873
For Medeiros, it exercises
speech and petition.

11
00:00:32,873 --> 00:00:36,339
For ABI Resources, it preserves
organizational evidence

12
00:00:36,339 --> 00:00:38,319
without claiming beneficiary rights.

13
00:00:38,319 --> 00:00:42,279
Call it the Medeiros
Accountability Standard—a proposed

14
00:00:42,279 --> 00:00:44,755
public-interest model,
not existing law.

15
00:00:44,755 --> 00:00:47,230
America's next step is measurable:

16
00:00:47,230 --> 00:00:50,695
acknowledge the complaint,
preserve the file, publish

17
00:00:50,695 --> 00:00:54,160
the rule, test the evidence,
decide independently,

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,141
and explain the result.
