[Colorado-talk] Fwd: [Nfbnet-members-list] Legislative Alert

[Dan Burke]

Good morning -

If any of you can make a call to one or both of these offices today,
please do so. Unanimous passage in both houses of Congress will help
ensure the final signature by the President, for sure!

Dan

Howdy Fellow Federationists,

The House of Representatives is scheduled to adjourn this week for the
August recess. However, before the final gavel drops, house leadership
needs to hear from us regarding the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation
Act (S. 2559).

Please call House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI 01) and Majority Leader
Kevin McCarthy (R-CA 23) today and urge them to Place the Marrakesh
Implementation Act on the Suspension Calendar before adjourning this
week. You can reach Speaker Ryan's office at (202) 225-0600, and
Majority Leader McCarthy's office at (202) 225-4000. I have included a
sample script below for your convenience:

Hello, my name is ___, and I am calling to urge the Speaker/Majority
Leader to place the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act (S. 2559) on
the Suspension Calendar this week. The Marrakesh Treaty and its
implementing legislation were passed unanimously by the US Senate on
June 28, 2018. This treaty will expand access to information for
thousands of blind Americans like me here at home and around the
world.

Thank you for all of your hard work to get the Marrakesh Treaty
Implementation Act across the finish line!
Best,

...Gabe
