[Ncabs] Fw: Urgent blindness legislation action needed

[Salisbury, Justin Mark]

This is quick and easy.  I got the message earlier tonight when it came straight from Lusi, and I emailed the Pitt County senator immediately.  It only takes a few sentences stating your position.  Plus, they're more likely to read a short email, anyway.

Thanks!

Justin
