RE: AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
Dear Representative Lent:
I understand that weaking provisions to the ADA bill including the Chapman Amendment may be part of the conference report. I ask for your consideration, as an ADA conferee, to rid the bill of the Chapman Amendment, along with all other weakening provisions.
In my view, the Chapman Amendment would serve only to exacerbate the exact kind of irrational fear and prejudice that the ADA is meant to eradicate.
All persons with disabilities and the community and nation as a whole can only benefit by extending the same privileges and freedoms to persons with disabilities that now only non-disabled individuals enjoy.
I look forward to you continuing your commitment to equality and justice for all.
Thank you for your consideration on this issue.
Sincerely,
