> Dear Friends:
>
>
>
> Your help is needed this Friday as we meet with a senior staff member from
> Congressman Andy Harris's office regarding HR 3505, our Technology,
> Education and Accessibility in College and Higher Education (TEACH) Act.
> This bill, as you may know, would require the Department of Education to
> issue standards regarding the accessibility of technology used by colleges
> and universities while making it illegal for a college to purchase
> technology which does not meet these accessibility guidelines. Getting 
> this
> bill passed, therefore, is of vital importance to blind college students 
> and
> to those who will go to college in the future. Congressman Harris has a
> reputation as a champion of quality education; however, he has not yet
> cosponsored this bill. We need all supporters of equal education for blind
> students, blind and sighted alike, to attend this meeting and show
> Congressman Harris that his constituents want him to sign onto the TEACH
> Act.
>
>
>
> The meeting will take place on Friday morning, July 18th at 10:30 AM. 
> Since
> this staff member has agreed to meet us on sight at a location of our
> choosing, the meeting will be held at Bare Wood House in Finksburg, MD. 
> The
> address of the store is: 2445 Baltimore Blvd Finksburg, MD 21048. It is
> imperative that Congressman Harris's constituents attend, as he will be 
> much
> more likely to listen to our comments if they are given by those who can
> vote for him. Congressman Harris represents Maryland's first Congressional
> district, which serves parts of Carroll, Baltimore, Hartford and Cecil
> counties on the Western Shore along with much of the Eastern Shore. If you
> are unsure if you are in this district, please see this link for a list of
> municipalities covered in District 1:
> http://harris.house.gov/municipalities. I hope to see a strong showing of
> our members and friends at this meeting. This is an important bill and we
> need Congressman Harris's support. Please feel free to pass this email 
> along
> to anyone who may be interested in supporting us at this meeting. I look
> forward to seeing many of you on Friday.
