Today, Congressman Doug Collins issued the following statement on the 25th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act:

"As the father of a daughter who uses a wheelchair, I am thankful for the ADA changes that have made life easier for her and our family. We live in a country where everyone is invited to participate freely in community life, regardless of their abilities. Young people living with handicaps today have grown up in a more accessible world than their parents knew, because of the strides made with the ADA. Everyone deserves an equal chance to live their best life, and because of this law, a better life has been made attainable for so many people."
