From Justice for All- [log in to unmask]
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act
(http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/508/report2/index.htm)
"require[s] federal agencies to ensure that EIT [electronic
information technology] they procure is accessible to people
with disabilities
(http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/508/report2/summary.htm)."
That includes websites.

The White House website does not comply with Section 508.
A review (located:

<snipped>
Contact Linda Sites ([log in to unmask]) and Linda
Tolkan ([log in to unmask]) in the Executive Office of
the President and ask why the White House website isn't in
compliance and what steps, if any, are being taken to fix the
problem.
