Life, Liberty, and Closed-Captioned Video

Tom Harkin is helping the disabled to keep up with politics.

From the Senator's Press Release:

As the author of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act that protects the civil rights of more than 54 million Americans with physical and mental disabilities, Senator Harkin has long been a champion of ensuring that all Americans have equal access and opportunities.

The recent CNN/YouTube debates have shown that the Internet and online video are rapidly becoming a mainstream medium for direct engagement in our democracy. With the advent of these new technologies and mediums it is important that we continue to ensure that every American has the opportunity to participate. That's why all of us at
