iCan ONLINE - Beyond Sutton: ADA Restoration
Another excellent article from iCan.com. Let's hope ADA Watch will be successful in its efforts to staff "a broad coalition of disability organizations to explore options specific to ADA Restoration".
From article:
Following the Sutton vote, word on the Hill is that Democrats and Republicans alike want to do something to restore the rights originally invoked by Congress under the ADA. Thanks to the efforts of so many of you to bring attention to the ADA and to the threats of Federalism during the Sutton debate, we now have increased awareness of our struggle. Senators, Senate staffers, the media, and the general public were educated about the attacks on the ADA -- a mainstream law that is held in high regard by a large majority of Americans.

With your support, we will now use this momentum and go forward to restore the ADA.

Our hope is that Republican leaders such as Sen. DeWine, Sen. Hatch, and others will join a bipartisan effort to restate the intent of the ADA and reassert Congressional authority to protect the civil rights of people with disabilities.

Of particular interest is Sen. DeWine's statement at the end of this article: Please read.
