> Happy new year! As you gear up for another semester, take some time to urge the Obama 
> administration to promptly release the ADA internet regulations. As students, you know 
> first-hand the detrimental effects of inaccessible websites, online platforms, etc. The 
> Obama administration has the opportunity to make a historic difference for people with 
> disabilities, but they are refusing to act. Sidelining these important regulations is 
> not only irresponsible, it undermines President Obama's commitment to civil rights and 
> equality of opportunity for all Americans.

> Please take a moment to sign our we the people

> and encourage your fellow students, friends, family members, and coworkers to do the 
> same. Reaching 100,000 signatures is no small task, but I know that NABSters are

> In addition to sharing our 
> petition<https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/direct-us-department-justice-promptly-release-ada-internet-regulations> 
> on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets, please personally approach 10 
> friends/relatives/coworkers and ask them to sign and share with their own networks. A 
> little personal contact goes a long way! At the time of the drafting of this Email, we 
> are sitting at 539 signatures: look what we have done in just a little over 24 hours! 
> Let's make it to 1000 today, with your help, I know we can!
> If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I can't wait to see many of
