Subj: [il-talk] our upcoming State Legislative Breakfast


On March 12th, 2009, the NFBI will be inviting our  legislature to have
breakfast with about ten of our members.  We will  be renewing and
strengthening our relationship with the legislature, and  will be bringing to
their attention, some issues that were the subject of  convention
resolutions.  Those issues include the failure of the  Illinois Department of
Education to adopt rules to assure that those who  teach blind teachers can
adequately use and teach Braille.  We will  also discuss the quiet cars
issue, and will propose state legislation that  would lead to a sound
standard so long as there is no effort undertaken  nationally.

There will be much work the Legislation Committee and  others will need to
undertake to make this initiative a success.   Among that work will be
inviting legislators or those they may designate to  attend the breakfast, 
preparing materials they can discuss with us and  take with them, contacting 
those who don't attend, and following up  regarding the initiatives we 
propose.  the Legislative Committee will  be providing more information and 
guidance after the holidays as to how  you can assist in this important 
initiative.  We are hopeful that  many of you will be able to take part, and 
to learn much about the  legislative process.

Bill Reif and Mary Grunwald, co-chairs
NFBI  Legislative  Committee
