Here is a flier for our event that gives even more information than my last
post.  Please feel free to forward this to your friends and families who
might be willing to come out in order to support our efforts.  This flier
gives Kristian Kunke as the contact person for transportation--she or Mrs.
Maurer can certainly help you with this.  Also, I forgot to mention in my
original post that we will be leaving the National Center at 9 AM.  Those
leaving from the train station, we will pick you up as needed when your
trains arrive.

Defending equal employment for people with disabilities

Did you know there are Americans earning as little as a dollar an 
hour, just because they are disabled?  Their work isn't substandard, 
but their wages are!

Congress is trying to expand the practice of sub-minimum wage jobs 
for the disabled.  Join the National Federation of the Blind of 
Maryland on the 21st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 
July 26th, to learn how sub-minimum wages force the disabled to live 
in poverty, dependent upon meager government entitlements, while 
their non-disabled overseers earn lush salaries!

Discover the fraud, abuse, and worker intimidation that have kept 
these American sweatshops open for decades under our noses!

Learn how American jobs are being outsourced, not to foreign 
companies who exploit their workers, but to so-called American 
"non-profits" who exploit the disabled!

And find out how you can stop it!

What:	Rally to end sub-minimum wages
Where:  In front of Senator Barbara A. Mikulski's office
	The corner of Bond Street and Thames Street in Fells Point (across
	from Duda's Tavern)
When:	Tuesday, July 26, 2011, from  10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

For more information, or to sign up for free transportation from the
National Center for the Blind to the event, leaving at 9 a.m. and returning
at noon, please contact 
Kristian Kuhnke at 410-659-9314, x2219 or email kkuhnke at nfb.org.
