[Ct-nfb] We Will Get What We Want

[Justin Salisbury]

Hey Joyce,

I really appreciate having you active in this fight. I went back and reread my email, and I can't see where I did put an email address that people were supposed to use. Your screen access software may be focusing in on the physical address or the phone number. I do not have an email address to use it this time, but I think that's a good thing. I like phone calls because they are quick, and you can't sit there overanalyzing them while you're doing them.

If you find an email address, please go ahead and share it, but I'm all for the phone calls right now.

Have a great night!

By the way, while you all are sleeping tonight, I am going to be polishing up a research proposal for an experiment to measure the adults capacity to improve braille literacy. As a movement, we are doing great things!

 First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.

Can you please give me the entire email address to send this to?
  When I press enter on the email address nothing happens and when I try copy & pasting it, nothing happens.

Thank  you,

Joyce

Fellow Federationists:

Do you want to see guide dogs taken out of SB 234?

If enough of us do actually want it, we will get it done.

The bill was referred six days ago to the Committee on Appropriations, which means we have another round of calls to make. If we call the office of:

Appropriations Committee
*         Legislative Office Building, Room 2700
*         Hartford, CT 06106
*            (860) 240-0390
  <mailto:apptestimony at cga.ct.gov>

...and if we tell them that we want guide dogs taken out of this bill, we stand a good chance.

Here's the secret, though:

If we want to get this done, we can't sit back and hope that other people will do it. We have to do it as individuals. I used to put things like this on the back burner with the hope that I'd get to it sooner or later, and then I'd stumble across my reminder note to do it when it was too late. Please take just a minute to call the Appropriations Committee. It will pay off!

Many of us have been working diligently so far, and we need to keep that up. If more of our members join in the fight, we might actually win.

We've got a guide dog school coming out against the bill, and it's great to have them on our side.

Let's keep at it!

Yours always,

Justin
