[Ct-nfb] Some info for election day

Fri Nov 11 00:23:57 UTC 2016

Hello Jim

I'd jsut sent my reply out  in regards to m yexperience to the voting which  was a  good one. As that said  I'd also said in it as fo regards t oour new president which was a real big suprise to so many in all honesty.

As you are the  legislative  coordinator/director of  our  organization have you bee nspeaking to political people in regards to  Trump. As Trump was  quite negative towards the disabled  during his campaign  as was taht  him just oing  out  on the mouth as they say that  he'd bee ndoing or quite real. Was there  any idea of his position towards us  recently or as of now  towards us or what. Obama's adminstration  I think was really good towards the disabled  adn taht of  the vusual that  a lot was done for us. Graned a lot  was done too as  we'd had to speak up about it and  things as that , but regardless do think  was  reeal good towards us. Now with that said  of now what  is going to  be  as of this new administration. 

I've spoken to  disabled  individuals in my area of  Fairfield county and many  were on the fence with regards to their feeligns  of  Trump as well as t o where things stand as well  what will be in regards t oinsurance medicare medicad etc s oa lot to  do  in protecting ourselves and not let us fall backwards  . I think now more then ever we all need to work and stick togetehr to make sure things get done  for us. As a matter of fact I'm going to be sending Seantor blumenthal an email  of this topic and will let you know as to what he says t ome  about it.

Thank you and take care 
Elizabeth

Hello, fellow Federationists!
Tomorrow's the day, so a few reminders.
If you would like to practice voting with a phone keypad before going to the polls, call 888-661-6366. You will not need any kind of access code.
If you have any problems voting, a good person to contact in Connecticut is Elanah Sherman at the Office of Protection and Advocacy. Her phone number is 860-297-4322, and her e-mail is Elanah.Sherman at ct.gov.
Our national office has set up a voter hotline number, which is 877-632-1940. It will be available from 7:00 AM until 10:00 PM on November 8. If you encounter any barriers to voting privately and independently, please call and report it. There is also a hashtag, #BlindVoterExperience, on Twitter.
Finally, if you visit http://www.nfb.org you will find on the home page a What's New heading. Below that, you will  find links to two surveys about experiences voting. Please choose the one that applies to your situation, and help us to gather data to use in present and future advocacy work.
Good luck tomorrow, and if I can help in any way, let me know.
Let's make our voices heard!
