> Dear Colleagues,

> Let me begin by giving a shout out to our Illinois affiliate for securing Jan Schakowsky as a cosponsor of the TIME Act.  This brings our total up to 41.  Also, Indiana, Nevada, and Washington have already contacted us about scheduling appointments with their members of Congress during the August Recess, and we want to hear from others.  Remember this particular task is specific to the House of Representatives.
>  
> To refresh your recollection, I have attached the 2015 Washington Seminar fact sheet about H.R.188, the Transitioning to Integrated and Meaningful Employment (“TIME” Act).  Please call me when you have scheduled your appointments using the below contact information.  I look forward to talking with you.  Thank you so much.

> The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day 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.
