The American with Disabilities Act is a wide-ranging statute that passed Congress with bipartisan support and was signed into law by the first Bush as President in 1991. In case you weren't paying attention then, even Senator Jesse Helms supported this legislation.

Persons with disabilities just celebrated the law's anniversary in July, but much remains to be done to bring about compliance. I am writing this as a reminder to those of you responsible for organizing and planning political events, especially for candidates for office and their event planners.
