I know that we are in a major recession and there is no end in sight.  Dirk, Tom and I were standing around after church having coffee.  Dirk is an engineer form England and part of an international group that builds swimming pools.  He was telling us about an international think tank in Europe that has written a 20 year projection report.  They predict that in the next 15 years there will be a peoples revolution in China and that the manufacturing ability of the United States will be much stronger than it was in the 60's and 70's.

There is always hope.  The ACCESS "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" program brings hope to the handicapped community.  ACCESS reformatted its business plan 2 years ago by bringing the professional accessibility architects of ACCESS to the disable community...free of charge.  For 20 years there has been only hope that buildings would be ADA compliant. Today, I can guarantee with the ACCESS "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" program that uses the free Federal Courts to get buildings ADA compliant.  However, this has to be a team effort.  ACCESS will do our part, but we'll need you to do yours by following the 4 easy steps:
  1. Book an accessible room with 2 beds and a roll-in shower.
  2. Using a color digital camera, take 2-3 photos of the room, the roll-in shower, the lobby area and the public restrooms.
  3. Outside of the building, take 2-3 photos to include the accessible parking and overall photos of the building.
  4. Email us the photos and a copy of the hotel bill to hfalstad@accessts.net.
Once we receive the photos and the hotel bill our General Counsel will review to determine that there is standing to file in the Federal Courts.  And that's it.  We will keep you updated and posted throughout the entire process.

So, let's get started and get these buildings ADA compliant, one building at a time!
