[NYAPRS Enews] JFA: ADA Restoration Moves Forward in the House; Take Action Now!

ADA Restoration Moves Forward in the House

Justice for All   June 16, 2008

  

Disability, civil rights and employer groups are working hard to secure support for the negotiated legislative language that has been circulated on Justice for All (JFA) and now has the support of more than 50 national and 60 state and local disability groups, the US Chamber of Commerce, the Society for Human Resource Management, the National Association of Manufacturers, the Human Resource Policy Association, McDonalds, General Motors and Honeywell.  

 

TAKE ACTION NOW!

 

Contact Members on the House Education & Labor Committee and the House Judiciary Committee between now and Wednesday morning and urge them to: support the ADA Restoration's bipartisan negotiated language that will become the Chairman's mark in both committees. The names are below. 

 

Locate the Members' contact information online, or call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-1904 (V) / (202) 224-3091 (TTY) and ask to be connected to their offices by name. 

 

If you haven't already also consider having your organization "sign on" to the proposed deal language by sending an email to Anne Sommers, JFA Moderator, at aapdanne at earthlink.net. Support of the deal language means you not only approve of its language and terms, but that you also agree to defend it against all attempts by Members of Congress to amend it--unless both sides agree to the amendments. 

 

We will continue to share the list of organizational support with Members of Congress as ADA Restoration moves forward in both the House and Senate in coming weeks.
