Sat Mar 1 21:05:34 UTC 2014

Hello Justin,

I am so sorry that you ahd any issues and here is my email agai nto  you.

I wanted to know the  following informatio becasue President Obama is  
coming to Hartford on Wednesday to meet with the  Govonor,senators and  others t 
ospeak about  the minium wage increase as taht CT is doing it over  3 
years.  What if anything do you know  if disabled person will  benefit from this 
action as well. We've been battling the  change and  discrimination of 
employers such as Goodwill, Marriott,etc and the bill that the  senate have been 
hearing is H R 831 has this bill fully gone int oeffect/passed  by teh 
senate   whic his for subminium fair wages but does it as well  enact/protect 
from discrimination.

Have Senators Murphy and blumenthal been supportative,vocal,effective   in 
our behalf for these issues . What would you want them to know to have in  
hand when they are with the Govonor on Wednesday with teh President.

With the case of Goodwill who were not paying fairly do you know exactly  
know the numbers of what they were doing being if minium wage here is 720/40 
how  much under that were the ydoing if you know.

Thank you so much for assisting me with providing me wit hthis information  
which will help us all.

Dear  Elizabeth, 
I  am sincerely grateful for your interest in the fight to end subminimum  
wages.  I have read your message a few times but am struggling to  
understand what it is that you want to know.  Honestly, the abundance of  
typographical errors would not be much of a problem if they did not erode the  clarity 
of the message, but I regret to report that they do.  If you  could please 
edit and resend your message, I would be happy to help answer  your 
questions. 
I  also wish to remind you and others that Edward Shaham has taken over for 
me to  spearhead our legislative activities.  While I am happy to offer any 
help  that I can, Edward’s understanding of and ability to research these 
issues  should not be underestimated.   
Lastly,  I want to encourage you to feel comfortable reaching out to Rose 
Sloan at our  national office.  She is the one leading our efforts to achieve 
fair  wages by fixing the Workforce Investment Act and also getting the 
House to  pass HR 831 and the Senate to introduce and pass a companion bill to 
HR  831.  It is certainly good to use our resources here in Connecticut, but 
 helping people understand this issue is part of why we pay her the big  
bucks.  Her phone number is: 410-659-9314, ext. 2441.  You can also  email 
Rose at _rsloan at nfb.org_ (mailto:rsloan at nfb.org) . 
Sincerely  yours, 
Justin  Salisbury

Please  note the reminder from our education team a the NFB Jernigan  
Institute: 
Just  a quick reminder that Monday is Read Across America Day! This 
celebration of  literacy always takes place on the weekday closest to Dr. Seuss's 
birthday,  March 2, since his writings continue to inspire children to fall 
in love  with reading. Once again, we ask that you celebrate the day anyway 
you can  to emphasize the important role of Braille in literacy for the 
blind. If  your affiliate is holding a party or activity in honor of Read Across  
America Day, please let us know! We'd love to get photos or videos of your  
celebration. We're also asking that everyone send us a photo or video of  
someone reading Braille. We're especially eager to see people reading  
Braille near a famous landmark, so we can really show that Braille is being  used 
all across the country! (Of course, we understand that in many parts of  the 
country, those landmarks are obscured by snow!)  
If  you have any questions, please contact Liz Spann at _espann at nfb.org_
