I may just say this, if you are in one of the states that are listed in this message, I don't know what members of the Senate have relay numbers and/or TDD numbers. But for those of you who do use such services and can find the numbers for the Senators listed in this message I would urge you to make use of them. So here it is. I will follow the text of the message with my signature. PS Jan and I will send used to the person that you listed on the form sometime this week. I'd like to thank all of you for reading this in advance. Let's go see if we can stop this craziness before it really starts.

Senate Bill S. 1356 has been introduced to reauthorize the Workforce Investment Act (WIA).  This bill includes two major policy changes in the language of the Rehabilitation Act that threaten to send us backwards in our struggle to acquire the proper education, training, and opportunity to obtain competitive, integrated employment.
> 
> (1) The bill has proposed language in Section 511 of the Rehabilitation Act that requires vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies to include training and employment at wages below the federal minimum wage as a VR service.

Our initial action is simple, but it will require all of us to take action.  We need all of our members, family members, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances that reside in states where their Senator serves on the HELP committee to make calls, send e-mails, post tweets, and Facebook messages to communicate the following two straightforward requests to their Senator:
> 
> I am a voting constituent in the state and I am respectfully requesting that the WIA reauthorization be amended to:

> (2) Remove the language transferring RSA to the Department of Labor.

> We are encouraging that only the actual residents make these requests of their respective Senators.  Start recruiting as many individuals as possible now to begin this action on Monday, July 29 and continue it through Tuesday, July 30.  Use the information below to make calls to your particular Senator's office and send e-mails to each of the e-mail addresses listed for your Senator.
>
