[Ct-nfb] NFB of CT State Convention

[Elizabeth Greenwood]

Hello Jim

This is waht  am  meaning   in sorts  as taht  know that  President Obama  has had a disablity committee  in which  would have  conference calls every month  and  his committee  has been made up of  very strong  people within  the Us   and this is what  am meaning of  guess it would be essentially pers, others etc  that can assist  in  those ways as  you've  mentioned. As  said   keep positive  speaking out  and  educating   all as well using the  media as part of the  educatin process too.  Keep doing all that are doing  in being successful as workign as a team.
Thanks agai nElizabeth

Hello, Elizabeth and all.
I have not yet heard anything about any efforts by NFB to reach out to Mr. Trump, but I will certainly pass along anything that comes along. The election was only a few days ago, and Trump will not take office until January 20. The legislative agenda for the coming year is being put together, and we will presenting it to our legislators in late January and early February at Washington Seminar.
Personally, I do not believe Trump's administration will be as big an obstacle to us as many people think. Of course, that remains to be seen.
As Justin said, we each have to be involved in advocating for our rights and our interests. Contact your elected representatives any time you feel a need to speak out.

Hi Elizabeth,

There are a lot of people who think that they need to stay out of the way with legislative work and allow certain appointed representative of the organization to do that work. I want you to understand that we will be the most successful if everyone participates, not just a few top leaders. We all have just one vote, and they want to hear from as many voting constituents as possible.

Justin
