This means that they will take businesses run by blind people away from them. We, the NFB of CT cannot sit idly by, and let this happen! I am asking for everyone to call, and send a letter to all CT legislators. I am providing their phone numbers below. Please call Monday. I will also attend the hearing Wednesday, and am looking for those that want to join me. Please send your letters to: <a href="mailto:envtestimony@cga.ct.gov">envtestimony@cga.ct.gov</a>. Thanks to Justin, I have attached a letter you can use. You only need to place your name, and who you would like the letter to go to. I tried to make this as easy as possible for everyone, so please follow through, and reach out to your legislator. Please c'c me when sending your letters. Also send me a quick email letting me know that you have called.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>House democrats (860) 240-8500 <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> Senate Democrats - (860) 240-8600 <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> House Republicans - (860) 240-8700 <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> > Senate Republicans - (860) 240-8800<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>edward<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
