NCD - America Speaks Out on the ADA
Jill Crow , told about her 10-year old daughter who loves baseball. But the only way she could attend her brother's games was for three men to carry her and her wheelchair to the ball field. "Once she got there, she was in danger of being hit because there was no place for her wheelchair that was safe from foul balls," said her mother.

Also, crop insurance: crop insurance should be a no-brainer. It's much better than the Texas Lottery, because farmers pay in a lot less than they collect nationally. And if I could invest in crop insurance rather than the Texas Lottery, I could make some money on that. It is for the communities as well as for the individual farmers. But there are problems. You go to a monoculture of West Texas cotton and cotton farmers, they buy cotton. Texas gets a lot of money out of crop insurance for cotton. You go to the upper Midwest, the Great Plains states, the monoculture wheat; they produce, they buy crop insurance. ... [Read More]

Internet Gambling Prohibition Act of 1997
    My testimony will demonstrate that the Coeur d'Alene Lottery should not be prohibited under the Goodlatte Bill or its Senate counterpart, the Kyl Bill, because, 1) Our Lottery is authorized and approved under existing federal law (the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1998); 2) Our Lottery is fully regulated by appropriate federal, state and tribal authorities; 3) Our Lottery will share its profits with all non-gaming Indian tribes throughout the U.S. (Our commitment to do so was the first, and to our knowledge, still the only such commitment by any gaming tribe); and 4) Our Lottery has made and will continue to make every reasonable effort to limit access to authorized players. ...
