Here is a list of Democrats opposing Americans with Disabilities Act

53. Here's what DREDF--a preeminent (and very progressive)

disability rights group has to say about this:

"Big business is trying to bamboozle the House and the American public into supporting an unnecessary law misleadingly titled the “ADA Education and Reform Act of 2017” (H.R.620) that would make it even harder for disabled Americans who have been “holding it,” waiting to use the same restrooms, shop at the same department stores, and eat at the same restaurants as our non-disabled friends and family members, for almost 30 years!

They say the law is needed to help local “mom and pop” shops, while behind the scenes, powerful trade associations for wealthy corporations—everything from multinational hotel chains to big box stores and corporate coffee shops—are pulling the strings in an effort to gain support for regressive rollbacks to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). This opens the door to not only dismantling the ADA, but other civil rights laws as well."

I posted a link to the DREDF (Disability Rights and Education Defense Fund) in my post below.

The GOP inspired "ADA Reform" is about as progressive as their "tax reform" legislation.

Just another giveaway to corporate America, this time at the expense of people with disabilities.
