> Hello Illinois Friends,
>  
> Just wanted to let you know that Mr. Gutierrez cosponsored HR 188.  I’m not going to lie, I actually laughed out loud when I saw his name; for some reason he didn’t sign on last Congress, but the Congress before he did.  
>  
> Anyway, Congrats.  He is our 40th cosponsor.  We have 22 Dems and 18 Reps.  Not too bad, but no need to ask all the friendly dems in our state to come on just quite yet.
>  
> Thanks for all that you do. I’m looking forward to seeing you all in Orlando.

> 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.
