[nagdu] Urgently Needed Research

[Marion Gwizdala]

Julie,
    Thanks for your willingness to help. Sherrill did some great research 
and found that 38 states provide criminal remedies for violating our civil 
rights. We also found some very interesting language concerning such details 
as the color of the leash and harness for a "certified" guide dog! We will 
be calling on members to help us compile the actual texts of the statutes so 
we can work on creating parity between state and federal laws. As soon as I 
have a resolution to share with the list, I will send it out!

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
