[NFB-Idaho] FW: FW: [NFB-Legislative-Directors] Breaking News Regarding Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act

[pres.nfbidaho at gmail.com]

I have called both our senators and asked them to co-sponsor S.3621. The number for the Capital switchboard is 202 224-3121. Let's flood their offices with emails and phone calls. Mike Braun from Indiana is the republican sponsor and this is bipartisan legislation.

This is great news! I will reach out to Senator Crapo and Senator Risch to encourage them to be a cosponsor. 

Thanks,
