Hello All,

We need each of you and your relatives and friends to either email, call,
tweet, or facebook Senators Mikulski and Cardin to tell them to fix the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA). The general phone number is 202-224-3121. 

Twitter handles are as follows:  

Senator Barbara Mikulski = @SenatorBarb  

Senator Ben Cardin = @SenatorCardin

Facebook pages are as follows: 

https://www.facebook.com/SenatorMikulski

https://www.facebook.com/senatorbencardin

Email for the staffers for each senator are as follows:

For Senator Cardin: Ann Jacobs  <mailto:ann_jacobs at cardin.senate.gov>
ann_jacobs at cardin.senate.gov

For Senator Mikulski: Aaron Edelman
<mailto:aaron_edelman at mikulski.senate.gov> aaron_edelman at mikulski.senate.gov

For help in crafting your message to each senator, read below.  If you did
not get this message on time to do it on Wednesday, please do it on
Thursday.

We can get the job done if everybody makes that contact with our two
Senators. 

Thanks,

Sharon Maneki

Subject: [Nfbnet-members-list] This Wednesday is #FixWIA Wednesday!

Federationists:

As many of you are aware, a few weeks ago, we had a great #FixWIA campaign.
Unfortunately, many Senators still do not understand our concerns with the
Workforce Investment Act. 

This Wednesday, February 5, 2014 <x-apple-data-detectors://0> , we will host
#FixWIA Wednesday?a social media camppaign that will alert our Senators
about our concerns with the Workforce Investment Act.  Please take some time
over the weekend to craft some facebook posts, tweets, and emails that
express your concern with WIA.  Don???t forget to include the hash tag
#FixWIA.  To make the process easier, please find a list of Senator Facebook
pages and Twitter handles. http://govsm.com/w/Senate.  Keep in mind that a
tweet can only be 140 characters. 

We have two main concerns with WIA.  First, we are concerned with Title 5,
Section 511.  If the Senate bill passes as written, subminimum wages for
workers with disabilities will be a part of the Rehabilitation Act for the
first time ever.  Ultimately, we would like to phase out Section 14 (c) of
the Fair Labor Standards Act, but keeping this antiquated provision out of
WIA is an important first step. 

Second, we do not want to see the Rehabilitation Services Administration
move from the Department of Education to the Department of Labor.  No
research can illustrate how this move will improve services for people with
disabilities.  In fact, we fear that services will become less efficient.
The Department of Education focuses on educating, or training, people to
become employed, whereas the Department of Labor only takes into
consideration the existing skills.  People with disabilities need training. 

If you would like more information please read our blog at
https://nfb.org/blog/vonb-blog/fix-wia
<https://nfb.org/blog/vonb-blog/fix-wia> . 

If you prefer to call your Senators on Wednesday, please find the
appropriate phone number by visiting www.senate.gov <http://www.senate.gov/>
or by visiting your Senators??? websites. 

I hope you find this information helpful.  Together, we can #FixWIA. 

Have a nice weekend,

Rose
