Subject: [Greater-Baltimore] Annapolis Letters Needed

Hello all,
I am assuming that you have completed letters on our electronic systems
study and ending guide dog discrimination in housing. This is the last round
of Annapolis letters. It is for SB940 Accessible Prescription Labels.
Complete them by March 21, the date of our hearing in  the Finance
Committee. You should say something like this in your letter:

Dear Senator _______,
Blind people need the same access to information on their prescription
labels that the sighted people have. Technology exists to provide this
information. However, too many pharmacists do not know about accessible
labels and do not provide them to their customers. Customers need notice
that there are accessible labels, and when a customer requests an accessible
label, the pharmacists need to provide them.

Everyone should write to the chairman of the committee, Melony Griffith.
The email address is [first name].[last name]@senate.state.md.us (for
example, melony.griffith at senate.state.md.us).
If you live in Anne Arundel County, write to Pamela Beidle and Dawn Gile.
If you live in Anne Arundenl and Howard County, write to Clarence Lam.
If you live in Baltimore City, write to Antonio Hayes.
If you live in Baltimore County, write to Katherine Klausmeier.
If you live in Carroll County, write to Justin Ready If you live in
Caroline, Cecil, Kent or Queen Anne's County, write to Stephen Hershey. .
If you live in Charles County, write to Arthur Ellis.
If you live in Montgomery County, write to Ben Kramer.
If you live in Wicomico, Caroline, Dorchester, or Talbot County, write to
Johnny Mautz.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
