[il-talk] FW: Let the Department of Education Hear From You

[Edward Birmingham]

To all of our Federation friends and family members:

The Randolph-Sheppard Blind Entrepreneurs need your support once again.  We are now asking the Dept. of Education to walk away from the joint policy statement.  If they agree, this will put an end to the Rule change proposed by the Dept. of Defense.  Please see the email below and click on the links that will let your voice of opposition be heard!  I would like to thank you in advance for your continued support.

Please take a moment to complete this on line petition ASAP.  We have a very small window of opportunity to complete this task.

Subject: Let the Department of Education Hear From You

President Gacos: Below is a link that will allow blind entrepreneurs and other interested parties to send emails to the U.S. Department of Education expressing concern over the proposed DOD regulations.  We are asking Education to take a stand against the proposed regulations in that they violate the current Randolph Sheppard regulations.  

 

Those who are interested can let their voices be heard in one of two ways. They may go click on the website link below and enter four pieces of basic information. When they hit Submit, emails will automatically be generated to the Secretary of Education, Assistant Secretary, RSA Commissioner, and RSA Deputy Commissioner. 

 

The second option is to copy and paste the email from our website, fill in the two blanks, and email from their own email account. They may also opt to customize their comments. If they choose this option, they should send emails to:

 

John.King at ed.gov 

Sue.Swenson at ed.gov 

Janet.Labreck at ed.gov

Edward.Anthony at ed.gov 

 

In some ways, this is preferable but either way works. 

 

The link is:

We need to get this out to as many people as possible as soon as possible preferably before Labor Day. 

 

Thanks!

Terry Smith, NFBEI
