In a very few days, all of Congress will be voting on the ADA Education and Reform Act which will weaken the ADA. This message is to urge you to tell your Representatives and Senators to oppose HR 620, the ADA Education and Reform Act. At the crux of the matter is the contention that businesses and other entities obligated to make services and physical environments accessible to people with disabilities do not always know their responsibilities or that their services or environments are inaccessible. Therefore, they should be provided education and given time to right the wrong before being vulnerable to legal action. Historically and in the case of ADA, the courts judge whether a suit can indeed go forward and whether it is valid. The ADA should be treated no differently. The ADA has been a law of the land for 27 years and yet we continue to see discrimination and neglect. Let's not stand by while HR 620, the ADA Education and Reform Act weakens it further. Tell your representatives to vote 'No' to HR 620, the ADA Education and Reform Act. Anthony R.
