MONEY TALKS, EVEN WHHHEN NO ONE WALKS

Money talks, they say. Well, if you're a person in a wheelchair and you find that you can't get into your local library because they let the ramp go in order to save money since The Supreme Court said a few years ago that the protections of The Americans With Disabilities Act do not apply to State and Locally Owned Public Buildings, you would certainly find that sentiment to be true. Money talks and blocks the access of those that cannot walk. But did those that brought that suit, those that made that ruling and those that have chosen to use tat ruling to make the kind of choice listed above ever stop to think how these actions would effect REAL people in the REAL world. Americans with Disabilities are not just numbers to themselves and those of us who know some of them, and risking their lives in order to save money is not something anyone who calls themselves' "Pro Life" should be willing to standby and let happen. Yet Republicans not only stand by, they stand for all of this. They should spend a day with a person with a disability in a city that has let its ramps fall apart, and then see how they fell about saving money at the expense of People's With Disabilities' Lives. They should consider whether saving money at the cost of these lives is something that can possibly be called pro life. And then they should realize that money talking when no one is walking is the height of immorality, and then stop believing in this position. So if money talks but no one walks, have Conservatives considered the kind of society that that will make us? Something to think about before undoing any more of The Americans With Disabilities Act and then chart a different course, one that let's the disabled walk and forces money to not talk.
