[Massachusetts-NFB] URGENT: Add Your Name to the Opposition Testimony re Separate-But-Equal Voting for the Blind

[Justin Salisbury]

Fellow Federationists:

After extensive deliberation within the affiliate, we finally have an approach to signing on to the full testimony in opposition to H-3577. We still have a few more hours to submit testimony. I plan to submit at the end of the night. This bill that will perpetuate a separate-but-equal approach to voting for blind people in Massachusetts under the guise of supposedly doing good things that the bill actually would not do. This testimony will not be a unified affiliate testimony. It will be a bunch of individuals who have decided that NFB policy is something that they support. 

Here's the plan:
If you read the attached document with a draft testimony, and if you like it, reply to this email or send me a fresh email or text message to tell me your name, any letters that go with your name, like PhD, and the town in Massachusetts where you live. This way, the names signed at the end of the testimony will be specifically only those people who reached out to say they wanted to sign on. It will be like a petition. 

At the end of the testimony, it will look like this:

Sincerely,

Justin Salisbury, MEd, NOMC, NCRTB; Athol, MA
John Doe, MBA; Springfield, MA
Barack Obama, Esq.; Cambridge, MA
Jill Biden, EdD; New Bedford, MA
Elizabeth Warren, Esq.; Cambridge, MA
Giles Corey; Salem, MA
Nomar Garciaparra; Boston, MA
etc.


I hope you'll be willing to sign on as individuals. 

Thank you,

Justin
