<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello all,</div><div>I am assuming that you have completed letters on our electronic systems study and ending guide dog discrimination in housing. This is the last round of Annapolis letters. It is for SB940 Accessible Prescription Labels. Complete them by March 21, the date of our hearing inĀ the Finance Committee. You should say something like this in your letter:</div><div><br></div><div>Dear Senator _______,</div><div>Blind people need the same access to information on their prescription labels that the sighted people have. Technology exists to provide this information. However, too many pharmacists do not know about accessible labels and do not provide them to their customers. Customers need notice that there are accessible labels, and when a customer requests an accessible label, the pharmacists need to provide them.</div><div><br></div><div>Everyone should write to the chairman of the committee, Melony Griffith. The email address is [first name].[last name]@<a href="http://senate.state.md.us">senate.state.md.us</a> (for example, <a href="mailto:melony.griffith@senate.state.md.us">melony.griffith@senate.state.md.us</a>).</div><div>If you live in Anne Arundel County, write to Pamela Beidle and Dawn Gile.<br></div><div>If you live in Anne Arundenl and Howard County, write to Clarence Lam.</div><div>If you live in Baltimore City, write to Antonio Hayes.</div><div>If you live in Baltimore County, write to Katherine Klausmeier.</div><div>If you live in Carroll County, write to Justin Ready</div><div>
