[Iabs-talk] Fwd: Legislative Alert – Take Action Immediately

[Rose Sloan]

Hey IABS!

Anil sent me this message.  PLEASE CONTACT SENATOR KIRK and let him know
that you would like Mr. Tom Perez confirmed as the next Secretary of Labor.


It's very easy.  Just go to his website and click on contact Mark.

THen write a short message that explains that Mr. Perez has been a champion
for people with disabilities for years and will continue to do so if he is
in this important position.

Thanks for all you do!!

Rose
