To mark the 14th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Easter Seals has launched �Full Participation for All,� a new online petition and campaign to make sure that 54-million people with disabilities has equal opportunities to be active participants in society. Jim Williams, Easter Seals President and C-E-O:
�Easter Seals have found that all too often people with disabilities are simply overlooked, not included and left out. And while the A-D-A addresses fundamental civil rights, there are still really critical issues that need to be addressed. For example, 84 percent of all polling places in the United States are not accessible to people with disabilities and that�s just wrong. And in this election year, Easter Seals encourages everyone to support full participation for all, sign on and help make the American dream accessible to everyone.�
