Americans With Disabilities Act

Good news! Last week, the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (formerly the ADA
Restoration Act) was introduced in the Senate, with tremendous
support. This legislation seeks to restore the intent of the original
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and protect anyone who faces
unfair discrimination because of a disability.

The House recently passed a version of this bill with an overwhelming
majority (402-17); the Senate bill seeks to broaden the definition of
disability in a way that maximizes bipartisan consensus and minimizes
unintended consequences. This is one of the most important pieces of
civil rights legislation for people with diabetes; we must make sure
it passes!

Please contact your senators today and urge them to co-sponsor the ADA
Amendments Act of 2008 (and thank those who are with us!). Click on
