WASHINGTON
,
Feb. 27 -- Rep.
Ander Crenshaw, R-
Fla. (4th CD), issued the following news release:
The National Down Syndrome Society today (2/27) awarded Congressman
Ander Crenshaw its 2014 Champion of Change Award, citing his focus on advancing the nation's commitment to people with Down Syndrome through the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (ABLE Act - H.R. 647/S. 313).
"Receiving the 2014 Champion of Change award is a great honor, but really the members of the
National Down Syndrome Society and its wide base of dedicated volunteers deserve to take a bow," said Crenshaw, on Thursday after receiving the award. "Plain and simple: Individuals with disabilities should have access to the same financial planning tools as other Americans. That's why
Congress needs to pass the ABLE Act. Tax free savings accounts would allow millions who do not have that freedom today an opportunity to pro-actively plan for their future and live to their full potential. With the steadfast commitment of NDSS and other organizations, we will all reach that goal together."
