I am so very proud of my fellow Americans with disabilities. Colorado Senator Cory Gardner (R) had disabled peaceful protesters arrested as well. This tactic on the part of the Republicans has blown up in their faces big time. I would be out there getting arrested myself if only I could. Thank you so much to that young woman for her courage.
