| Over the last nine months Easter Seals has been collecting signatures on our Full Participation for All! petition promoting opportunities for people with disabilities in education, employment, health care, voting, and transportation. Starting in January 2005, the petition is being presented to your Senators and Representatives in the US Congress and other decision makers across the country.
Stay tuned for actions that you can take to ensure that petition priorities become law. Your advocacy in the months ahead is critical to making the American Dream accessible for people with disabilities, and all Americans.
Please scroll to the bottom of this page and sign on now to join the movement to make sure people with disabilities have equal opportunities to be active members of society. |

Dear Leaders:
Too often, people with disabilities are locked out, left out or overlooked. While the Americans with Disabilities Act addresses fundamental civil rights for people with disabilities, the basics of everyday life are still out of reach for too many Americans with disabilities: getting a job, accessing health care, finding housing, using transportation, getting an education, and voting independently.
We, the undersigned, ask that you lead efforts to:
Employ people with disabilities and help build a stronger economy with more contributing taxpayers, an increased consumer base, and an expanded, diverse workforce.
Ensure that people with disabilities get the health care they need to lead full and more productive lives.
Create affordable housing options and accessible transportation services to allow people with disabilities to live in and be more active in their communities.
Guarantee access to high quality educational services -- including early intervention and preschool programs for children with disabilities -- to invest in America's future.
Make all polling places accessible so people with disabilities can vote.
