Good news! 

As a result of the Washington seminar the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act has a sponsor.

Please read the following notice and contact your representatives right away to encourage  them to join on as cosponsors to this very important  legislation.

Thank you very much for the work you do,

Larry Wayland

Subject: [NFB-Legislative-Directors] Legislative Alert for Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act

Dear Affiliate Presidents and Legislative Directors:

Thank you for your hard work during the Washington Seminar a few weeks ago advocating for our legislative initiatives. We received word recently that Representative Jan Schakowsky will be introducing the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act as early as next Tuesday, February 21. Because of this development, we need to keep up the continued momentum begun during Washington Seminar. Our goal is to build the number of originating cosponsors for this legislation.

We apologize for the short notice, but we need your assistance by having your affiliate members contact their representative in the House today and tomorrow and encouraging them to be originating cosponsors. Please have your representatives contact Gidget Benitez from Representative Schakowsky’s office at gidget.benitez at mail.house.gov to sign on as an original cosponsor.

We greatly appreciate your efforts and the work you do to help pass the legislative priorities of the National Federation of the Blind! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 410-659-9314, ext. 2210 orjyoung at nfb.org.

Thanks,

Justin T. Young, Ed.D

Government Affairs Specialist
