[il-talk] Fwd: FW: Kids Speak the Truth: Subminimum Wages Share Tomorrow for Twitter Wednesday

[Rose Sloan]

Fellow Federationists:



We are proud to announce the long awaited release of “Kids Speak the Truth:
Subminimum Wages <http://bit.ly/1oaiAya>,” made by this summer's interns:
Catherine Jacobson, Sarah Patnaude, Justin Salisbury and Yadiel Sotomayor
at the Jernigan Institute. This video portrays children’s views on our fair
wages initiative.



Please watch the video and encourage your friends and family to do the
same. Additionally, we are designating tomorrow as a Twitter Wednesday!
Please share this video with your Members of Congress via Twitter. As a
reminder, you can find the Twitter handles of your Members of Congress at
http://govsm.com/w/Senate and http://govsm.com/w/House.



For your convenience, here are some sample tweets. (Don’t forget to insert
the handles of your Members of Congress into these tweets.)



http://bit.ly/1oaiAya. @PeterRoskam <https://twitter.com/PeterRoskam>, will
you support #FairWages for Workers with Disabilities by cosponsoring HR 831?



It’s common sense: People with disabilities deserve #FairWages. Please
watch http://bit.ly/1oaiAya, @CongPalazzo <https://twitter.com/CongPalazzo>.




Thank you, @cathymcmorris <https://twitter.com/cathymcmorris> for
cosponsoring HR 831. http://bit.ly/1oaiAya shows why PWD deserve
#FairWages. 14c must be phased out.



PWD can only live the lives we want if we are ensured #FairWages. Please
watch http://bit.ly/1oaiAya, @RepMattSalmon

Yours in the fight for fair wages,

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.
