[Ct-nfb] Legislative Conference Call

[Justin Salisbury]

Fellow Federationists:

The Legislative Agenda of Blind Americans will soon be published, and it will guide us in our federal legislative endeavors for the coming year.  Some of us will be attending Washington Seminar to rally support for our three top causes, but all of us will have the opportunity to be active regardless of our Washington Seminar attendance.

We all know how to do it: call, write, email, have meetings, and ask for the varying types of support we need.

It is vital for us all to understand the three legislative issues at hand, so our legislative committee is working to put together a conference call on which we can educate everyone interested on the legislative issues at hand.

To ensure that we can prepare the Washington Seminar attendees, I propose that we hold the call exactly one week before the Great Gathering In.  That would place the call on the evening of Monday, January 20.  It is exactly what Dr. King would want us to do for a day of service.  I am seeking feedback from interested affiliate members as to what time on January 20 we would like to hold the call.

To submit your time request, please email me directly at:

Yours,

Justin Salisbury
