[CT-NFB] Update on Access Technology Affordability Act

[Deb Reed]

 Jim,
That is excellent news! Senators comments on Murphy need to get on board as well and I have emailed both of them earlier this month. Thanks for the great work you do and everyone else in this affiliate. We are stronger together.

This week the bill has gained four new co-sponsors, bringing the total to ninety-five. Unfortunately, none of those four are from Connecticut. We need to have representatives Joe Courtney, Jim Himes, and Jahana Hayes join John Larson and Rosa DeLauro as co-sponsors. We also need senators Blumenthal and Murphy to co-sponsor the senate version, S. 212.

If you need assistance contacting a representative or senator, or if you have questions about the bill, feel free to reach out to me. Also, I failed to mention earlier that when you send an e-mail, please copy Jeff Kaloc, jkaloc at nfb.org, on the message. It would also be good to copy Maryanne and myself.
