    THREAD on #HR620 ↓ Ever since I lost my legs when an RPG tore thru the cockpit of my Blackhawk I was flying over Iraq, getting around has been difficult—even w/the #ADA, I can’t always enter public spaces & have to spend a lot of time planning how to get frm 1 place to the next

        Supporters of #HR620 don’t deny that they’re violating the law—they just resent being sued for “minor” #ADA infractions. But an incline that is “only” a few degrees too steep, or an entrance that is “only” a few inches high, can determine if I’m able to access an area w/out help

        Being unable to independently enter a movie theater, store, hotel or restaurant is not only humiliating, it limits the freedom to pursue certain jobs, access necessary services & enjoy basic conveniences that most Americans don’t think twice about

        I understand that not everyone thinks about these things because for most of my adult life I didn’t either. But the truth is that everyone is just one bad day away from needing accessible options the #ADA requires to help them get around

        If you don't live with a disability, you might not think of #ADA violations as significant at 1st glance, but I assure you they're significant for those of us who do live with disabilities

        That’s why I STRONGLY urge all of my colleagues in the House to recognize that #DisabilityRightsAreCivilRights by voting NO on #HR620

        First, there are no words to thank you for your service to this country and your sacrifice. <3 Second, I'm also disabled, I completely agree with you on the #ADA . I can't even get in and out of my local post office because it's not handicapped accessible.

        I never got it until I worked with a guy who was in a wheelchair. A curb with no cut for his chair might as well have been the Grand Canyon.

        Thank God you sent @WalshFreedom packing. His twitter feed is abhorrent.
