Hey everybody,
Sorry about that! The copying and pasting of email addresses was
completely unintentional. From an iPhone, it may be that it doesn't show
up as it recognize the email address because, quite frankly, it isn't a
complete email address!
If you all want to send things to the address that he posted, go for it.
Please make sure that you do something!
Only if you want to see guide dogs taken out of this bill, that is…
Have a good one!

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.

Justin,
In the original message you sent, asking us to call the committee,
immediately below the phone number appeared the following e-mail
address:
apptestimony at cga.ct <mailto:apptestimony at cga.ct>
which, depending on your e-mail client, could be clicked on to begin
drafting a message. Because of some formatting weirdness thanks to
Microsoft, I had trouble copying and pasting it here and in the process
realized that this is only part of a proper e-mail address (no e-mail
address I know of could end in “.ct” as opposed to “.com”, “.org”, or
“.ct.us <http://ct.us> ” or “ca.us <http://ca.us> ”).
Thank you, though, for clarifying for us that you’d rather us call. In
fact I saw your message just as I was sitting down to draft an e-mail
copying my senator and assemblywoman.
I’ll call tomorrow, and I hope everyone on this list who didn’t call
today does so tomorrow.
Thanks for your hard work on this! Your drive and principle and
willingness to help others shows well here especially since this issue
may seem to have less an effect on you as it may for many other
colleagues
and friends.

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!

When I press enter on the email address nothing happens and when I try
copy & pasting it, nothing happens.

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
