Subject: [BlackDisabled] We must put up a united front.
> We're talking about the spirit of ADA but if all of us PWD's don't unite
> and show our opposition to HR 3590 then we may not have ADA because this
> bill will ultimately kill the effectiveness of ADA.
> We need to unite and start preparing to write our Senators, the
> President showing them our opposition to HR. 3590 and why we are
> opposed.
> 1. Hr 3590 will deny us our 1st amendment right of redress of
> grievance.
> 2. HR 3590 will make ADA a useless piece of civil rights legislation
> 3. HR 3590 will set the precedent that ignorance of the law is an
> acceptable defense
> 4. Hr. 3590 may possibly deny us our 14th amendment rights of due
> process and equal protection before the law.
> " No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the

> 5. Not since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has Congress entertained a
