In looking around the web some more, I found another way you can contact the two Senators for your state to urge them to support the ADA Restoration Act. The Epilepsy Foundation has a form letter addressed to your Senators. When you fill in your address, the form will automatically figure out who your senators are. [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 2 so far )The ADA Restoration Act blog has made two new posts since my last update. They’re worth checking out, but especially for those of you who are upset that the US Chamber of Commerce has attacked the ADA Restoration Act of 2007.
