[Iabs-talk] Contact your senators

[Rose Sloan]

Hi Everyone,

I have written both Senators.  I have told them that I do not support
Section 511 in WIA and that I am very disappointed that they have not yet
scheduled a meeting with the President of the Chicago Chapter of NFBI.
 Please, everyone do the same.  The more letters they receive, the more
likely they will take this issue seriously.

Happy writing!

Rose
