Share Tomorrow for Twitter Wednesday
Fellow Federationists:
We are proud to announce the long awaited release of "Kids Speak the Truth:
Subminimum Wages <http://bit.ly/1oaiAya> ," made by this year's Jernigan
Institute Summer Interns: Catherine Jacobson, Sarah Patnaude, Justin
Salisbury and Yadiel Sotomayor. This video portrays children's views on our
fair wages initiative.
Please watch the video and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
Additionally, we are designating tomorrow as a Twitter Wednesday! Please
share this video with our Members of Congress via Twitter. Here are the
Twitter handles of our Members of Congress:
Senator Dick Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Senator Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
Congressman John Larson @RepJohnLarson
Congressman Joe Courtney @RepJoeCourtney
Congressman Jim Himes @jahimes
Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro @rosadelauro
Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty @RepEsty
Congressman Joe Courtney is already a cosponsor of HR 831. The others are
not. We still need a Senate companion bill.
For your convenience, here are some sample tweets. (Don't forget to insert
the handles of our Members of Congress into these tweets.)
http://bit.ly/1oaiAya. @PeterRoskam <https://twitter.com/PeterRoskam> , will
you support #FairWages for Workers with Disabilities by cosponsoring HR 831?
It's common sense: People with disabilities deserve #FairWages. Please watch

Thank you, @cathymcmorris <https://twitter.com/cathymcmorris> for
cosponsoring HR 831. http://bit.ly/1oaiAya shows why PWD deserve #FairWages.
14c must be phased out.
PWD can only live the lives we want if we are ensured #FairWages. Please
watch http://bit.ly/1oaiAya, @RepMattSalmon

If you have any questions about fair wages, feel free to reach out to us.
Yours in the fight for fair wages,
Rose and Justin

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
