ADA Restoration Act...why is it important?
Make ADA stronger for people with disabilities
Defining what 'disability' and 'people with disabilities' mean.....
No discrimination - how?
Employment - Service Provision - Owning the American

IMPORTANT: Equal Rights as a Human Being with or without a disability, we're all Americans.
Five Things YOU CAN DO to keep ADA STRONG!!!
- SIGN THE PETITION on the Road to Freedom Site.
- Contact the Congress: tell them your story, what you see positive about ADA, what improvements you want to see happen and more...
- Sign up for News and Alerts from the Road to Freedom.
- Join your local or state organizations - for example: Indiana Association of the Deaf, American Association of People with Disabilities, American Association for Retired People, Indiana Deaf-Blind Association, Northwest Indiana Deaf Club, Northwest Indiana Hearing Loss Support Group, National Federation of the Blind and more....
