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.

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 or 
by phone at 410-685-5653, extension  2418.
