Hi Sharon,<br>
Sorry I did not see your letter earlier but Destiny had surgery
today to remove 4 masses 2 on her shoulder, one on her leg and one
on her chest that they believe might be malignant. She is now at
home with me sleeping with an "E" collar or Cone of Shame.<br>
<br>
However, the question I have Sharon when I email the staffers
tonight about the SPACE AVAILABLE on military flights for Disabled
Veterans is should I talk about some Disabled Veterans using Guide
Dogs and the Air Carriers Accessibility Act ACAA (or does it not
apply to military flights)?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Please send an email or make phone calls as
directed by Lauren, read below. We have a chance to get space
available past this year. Blind and Disabled Veterans deserve
this benefit. Let’s make it happen. Please take action
today, Dec. 9 or tomorrow Dec. 10.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have an important update on the Space
Available bill. As you know, it successfully passed in the
House as part of the National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA), and we have been waiting for the Senate version of
NDAA to move so we could amend it into that as well. However,
we have run into the same problem as last year: the Senate has
done NDAA almost exclusively behind closed doors and is
unlikely to allow floor amendments! Worse, we heard there is
controversy over parts of NDAA that is jeopardizing if it will
even pass at all! This is our chance to pass Space A – S. 346
has 19 cosponsors and no opposition, it passed in the House,
and NDAA is the perfect vehicle for it – let’s mobilize and
get this thing done.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We need everyone to do two things. 1) Call
Senator Tester’s office (202-224-2644) or email his staffers (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:dylan_laslovich@tester.senate.gov">dylan_laslovich@tester.senate.gov</a>
and <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:Jorge_Rueda@hsgac.senate.gov">Jorge_Rueda@hsgac.senate.gov</a>)
and urge them to file Space Available as an amendment to NDAA.
If amendments are allowed, Space A needs to be in line for
consideration! 2) Please call Senator Levin’s committee office
(202) 224-3871) or email his staffer (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:jonathan_clark@armed-services.senate.gov">jonathan_clark@armed-services.senate.gov</a>)
to urge them to include Space Available in NDAA. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We can’t allow Space Available to sit on
the shelf for yet another year, collecting dust and
cosponsors, while the right vehicle to move it keeps circling
the block and refusing to pick up amendments. That would mean
a procedural problem stopped this bill, rather than any real
problem with the actual bill itself. Please speak up on behalf
of blind veterans and help us get Space Available in NDAA!<o:p></o:p></p>
