I USED TO WALK UP ASMALLER ROW OF STEPS FOR EIGHT YEARS, BUT, AS A GIRL I BELIEVED IN EDUCATION, CHANGING MYSELF AND THE WORLD. EDUCATION WAS NOT A "TOTAL" SAVIOUR, BUT AN "OFTEN "SAVIOR. WHEN I SEE YOUTH HELPING, WHO, I WOULDN'T BLAME THEM FOR JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE ADOLENCE, I FEEL GOOD ABOUT EDUCATION. THE WORLD.

(What is this?) I am passing on this article from the Air Force Times about veterans who are fighting to have Segways classified in the same catagory as wheelchairs under the ADA (medical devices). Segways have been donated to over 150 disabled vets of Iraq and Afghanistan, and there are solid medical reasons for using them rather than wheelchairs. The current rules don't cover them and the proposed rules would classify them in the same catagory as golf carts and bicycles. Fellow Democrats this is important, Please take 5 minutes out of your day to comment. Comments can be submitted at http://www.regulations.gov.

The deadline is Aug. 18.

Sample Comment

I am writing to support the position of the Disability Rights Advocates for Technology that the Segway should be classified identically to the wheelchair, it is specifically designed for indoor and outdoor environments. The footprint of the Segway is smaller than a wheelchair, and it weighs less than power wheelchairs and most scooters. The proposed guidance threatens to deal a severe setback to Americaâï¿½ï¿½s disabled community and senior citizens, by discriminating against Segways and other technology devices that improve the quality of their lives.
