> Dear Colleagues,
> 
> There are two matters pending in the Senate that require our attention this week. First, we need to engage members of the Senate to make the Marrakesh Treaty a top priority in 2016. Please call your Senators and urge them to support the ratification of the Marrakesh Treaty and help make more published works available to blind people.
> 
> Secondly, please urge your Senators to include the language of S. 2596 (our Space Available legislation in the Senate) in the base language of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
> 
> I am so thankful for the excellent work you do because no organization moves a legislative agenda like the National Federation of the Blind. Please call both of your Senators today! The number to the Capitol Switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
> 
> Thanks again for all you do to make sure blind Americans can live the lives we want.

> The National Federation of the Blind 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.
