[Mdabs] URGENT Action Needed on Monday or Tuesday, February 12-13

[nfbmd]

Hello all,

 

The House of Representatives will be voting on HR 620, the ADA Education and
Reform Act on Wednesday. This will be a terrible Valentines present to the
blind because it will weaken our civil rights and seriously diminish the
Americans with Disabilities Act. Please call or email your Congressman on
Monday or Tuesday, February 12-13. We must defeat this bad bill. Tell them
to vote no! 

 

I want everyone to call or email Congressman Andy Harris. He is a cosponsor
of this HR 620 bill. His phone number is 202-225-5311 and his email is
andy.harris at mail.house.gov <mailto:andy.harris at mail.house.gov> . Everyone
should also call or email Congressman Anthony Brown because we have
information that he is leaning towards voting this bad bill. His email
address is anthony.brown at mail.house.gov
<mailto:anthony.brown at mail.house.gov>  and his phone number is (202)
225-8699.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland 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.
