Filmmaker Will Drinker has a reminder about the importance of this month and about a must-see project he’s working on with his brother:

October Is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month

by Will Drinker

Are you aware of Dan Drinker?

Dan is a 23 year old man with Down syndrome who is not only aware of the current presidential race, he’s participating. Dan endorsed Barack Obama (take that, Sarah Palin), he voted for him in the primary, he even saw the senator speak at Penn State.

I’d like to make you aware of my amazing older brother, who just happens to have Down Syndrome. We are making a documentary together about his life. See him the way I see him at http://dandrinker.com.

For the first time I can fully understand what people on the left feel about those conservative voters that they believe are voting against their own interests. I don't know how you can more profoundly do that than voting for the party that fights for the right for your mother to have aborted you because of your extra chromosome.

Maybe because some of us don't want the government into our personal lives. I'm personally pro-life, but I'm politically pro-choice.
