ACLU Letter to House Members Urging Support on H.R. 3195, the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (06/24/2008)
On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and its hundreds of thousands of members, activists, and fifty-three affiliates nationwide, we urge you to vote in favor of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA). The ADAAA restores the original promise of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) – that individuals with disabilities, who are willing and able to work, should be able to do so free from discrimination. Unfortunately, a series of Supreme Court decisions has eroded that basic promise.
