Dear Legislative Directors:

 

Below is a note from President Riccobono:

 

Thanks to all of you, we have a record number of cosponsors on the Access Technology Affordability Act (H.R. 2086/S. 815) in both the House and Senate. Just this past week, we added four new cosponsors in the House: Bruce Westerman (Arkansas), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Florida), Lois Frankel (Florida), and Joseph Kennedy (Massachusetts). Our total cosponsor count in the House is now at 132. Well done, Arkansas, Florida, and Massachusetts.

 

The Accessible Instructional Materials in Higher Education Act, or AIM HIGH (H.R. 5312/S. 3095), also gained a new House cosponsor last week in Matt Cartwright (Pennsylvania). This brings the total cosponsor count for AIM HIGH in the House to 44. Keep up the good work, Pennsylvania. 

 

The more cosponsors we get, the more we can show that these efforts have broad bipartisan support, which will draw attention to our bills and give them a better chance of getting passed. It will also benefit us in the next Congress by making it easier for us to gain a lot of early support from members of Congress who cosponsored the bill in a previous session.

 

 

John G. Paré Jr. 

Executive Director for Advocacy and Policy

200 East Wells Street, Baltimore, MD 21230
