[Ct-nfb] Urgent Action Needed

[Justin Salisbury]

Dear Elizabeth:

Thank you for checking in! The senators have not been doing any observable work on these two issues, which is exactly why we need to get them to work on these issues.

All across the country, members of the national Federation of the blind been asking the same exact thing of senators in other states. Parnell Diggs put out the call to action nationally, and I repeated the call to action at the state level.

We asked for everything to be done last week because of the Senate schedule for Monday and Tuesday.

It is my hope that many of our members responded to Parnell's call to action or my repetition of it.

Sincerely yours,

Justin Salisbury

Thanks so much, Jim and Deb! If anyone wants the names of the NDAA-focused staff members in each office, they are:

For Senator Blumenthal's office:
Katherine Bradbury

For Senator Murphy's office:
David Seyferth

Keep it up!

Done deal. A few minutes on the phone is all it took.

Friends:

Urgent action needed today, please and thank you!

2 things in the senate:

First, we need to ask Senators Blumenthal & Murphy to make the Marrakesh Treaty a top priority in 2016. Please call Senators Blumenthal & Murphy and urge them to support the ratification of the Marrakesh Treaty and help make more published works available to blind people.

Secondly, please urge Senators Blumenthal & Murphy to include the language of S. 2596 (our Space Available legislation in the Senate) in the base language of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

I am so thankful for the excellent work we all do because no organization moves a legislative agenda like the National Federation of the Blind. Please call both Senators Blumenthal & Murphy today! The number to the Capitol Switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

If you get this after hours, you can still call the offices and leave voicemails.

Thanks again for working with me to make sure blind Americans can live the lives we want.

Justin
