Comments

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
