- On January 29^th, the House Education and Labor Committee held the hearing on the ADA Restoration Act. Unfortunately, I was home sick with the flu so was unable to attend in person. However, I did put together podcast (and blog post) that contains clips of the oral testimony from witnesses “in their own words” courtesy of the Ed and Labor Committee’s webcast records.
  
  http://dayinwashington.com/?p=83
  
  Among the witnesses at the hearing was Carey McClure, an electrician with 20 years experience who was denied a job with General Motors because of his disability and then was denied protection of the ADA by the courts because he wasn’t disabled.
  
  Mr. McClure’s testimony is available in a video summary on YouTube, provided by the Democrats of the Education and Labor Committee and provides a powerful statement about the need for ADA restoration. The link provided below is to the video on my personal blog site as the YouTube video is not captioned and a transcript is available in the comments.
