[davant1958 at gmail.com]

Good Morning Fellow Federationists:

Representative Jan Schakowsky, (D. IL 9) has introduced the Medical Device
Nonvisual Access Act, H.R. 4853. The National Federation of the Blind fully
supports this legislation. We ask all of you to please call or write to your
representatives and ask for their support.

You might say something like:

"Hello, I'm [YOUR NAME], and I am a constituent of [REPRESENTATIVE NAME]. I
live in [CITY, STATE]. I would like to urge [REPRESENTATIVE NAME] to
cosponsor the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act (H.R. 4853). This
legislation authorizes the FDA to establish a minimum nonvisual access
standard for Class II and Class III medical devices with a digital interface
so that blind people can operate them safely and independently.

Thanks."
