I am happy that they aren't doing anything besides standing at the side lines
helping us decide where to run.

I think that one of the biggest mistakes our country made was the ADA which made
me a burden and potential enemy of small/medium businesses. The fact that the
EFA helped push it through congress is only an embarrassment to me.

Between our political disagreements and them telling me to lie on a job
application (we disagree with the time for disclosure), they no longer speak for me.

I am glad they are not doing too much. My life is difficult enough.

This is an olde thread and I don't live in the U.S., but I wondered why
the EFA didn't lobby? to get Tax Rules set, so e.g. Businesses who hire
people listed as 'having disabilities' got some kind of tax credit for
helping with their re-training.
  The 'loss' by giving them a Tax Credit like that, could be more than
overcome by the number of people who could be gainfully employed, paid
more and thus pay more taxes back into the system...   I don't know how
that relates to 3 paragraphs up(**s), where you said the ADA made you a
'burden to small businesses to hire you'.
  IF they got a Tax Credit (like I mentioned) on their Employment
Taxes, hiring people who qualify and help with their further training,
there might be more incentive for them to help, and less for you to
feel like a burden? on them.    If the rate of people who get Seizures
sometime in their lives is really 1 in 15?  that's 7% of the
population-- other figures I saw years ago were only 1 in 30--  I
wonder what (if anything) would happen, to an economy, if 7% of the
population didn't Buy anything for 2 weeks...   G./

Howdy G!

Lobbying takes a LOT of money!
