The Final House Vote
Your calls, letters, emails, and faxes were
heard by Members of the U.S. House of Representatives loud and clear.
At approximately 6:15pm this evening, the final vote for H.R. 3195, the
ADA Amendments Act (formerly known as the ADA Restoration Act), was a
resounding 402 to 17 (for perspective, the final vote in favor of the original ADA in the House was 378).

It upset me as an individual with a disability and born, raised and live in the State of Texas, that 5 Representatives from my State would vote down this important bill. I hope the people of their districts take note and let their voices be heard at the polls.
Shame on you: Louie Gohmert (R-1st TX), Jeb Hensarling (R-5th TX), Kenny Marchant (R-24th TX), Ron Paul (R-14th TX), Ted Poe (R-2nd TX).
Disabled, Texan and Proud
