[Greater-baltimore] Contact Senator Mikulski on Monday or Tuesday July 29th-30th

[NFBMD]

Hello all,

 

The Senate HELP Committee will be voting on S1356, the Workforce Investment
Act on Wednesday. We need to tell Senator Mikulski to remove 2 provisions
from this act.. The first is Section 511 that requires vocational
rehabilitation (VR) agencies to include training and employment at wages
below the federal minimum wage as a VR service. Second, remove the provision
transferring rehabilitation services from the US Department of Education to
the US Department of Labor. Both of these provisions will be detrimental to
persons with disabilities.

 

Sen. Barbara A Mikulski's phone number is: (202) 224-4654 

Send email to both: 

 

Her Chief of Staff: Julia Frifield julia_frifield at mikulski.senate.gov 

And Her HELP Committee Staff Person: Jessica McNiece
jessica_mcniece at mikulski.senate.gov

 

We need all of our members, family members, friends, colleagues, and
acquaintances that reside in Maryland to make calls and send e-mails to tell
Senator Mikulski to remove these provisions from the act.

 

We cannot save the Rehabilitation Program without your action. Thank you.
