Why don't you just tell them the web site where they can go to get them? Isn't there just a congressional site, maybe one for senators and one for representatives, that will show them that information? It would save you a lot of work, I think.

>> Baltimore, Maryland (February 27, 2013): <http://www.nfb.org/> The
>> National Federation of the Blind, the oldest and largest nationwide

>> the Fair Wages for Workers with Disabilities Act of 2013 (H.R. 831) by
>> Representative Gregg Harper (R-MS). Congressman Harper, along with

>> with Disabilities Act of 2013 to repeal section 14(c) of the Fair
>> Labor Standards Act, and to phase out <http://www.nfb.org/fair-wages>
>> the discriminatory practice of paying workers with disabilities
>> pennies per hour.
>>
>>
>>
>> Congressman Gregg Harper said: "Section 14(c) of the FLSA, enacted out
>> of ignorance about the true capacity of people with disabilities,
>> currently prevents over 300,000 people with disabilities from gaining
>> access to the work and training environments that have been proven to
>> be more cost effective and to produce more competitive integrated work
> outcomes.
>> Subminimum-wage work is just an expression of low expectations that
>> instills a false sense of incapacity in individuals, who could become
>> competitively employed with the proper training and support."

>>
>> <http://www.nfb.org/> Dr. Marc Maurer, President of

>> Congress to exhibit the same courage by recognizing our right to have
>> the same workforce protections as every other American citizen."
