I have called both senators' offices and my rep and given the message. We don't need Idahoans going into nursing homes because they can't use a medical device. Nursing homes cost Idaho money. Let's all get on the phone or write emails and get busy. The capital switch board number is 202 224-3121.

Hi All,

 

I wanted to provide you with another update on the number of cosponsors for the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act. We are doing great on H.R. 1328 to get the cosponsor count up. As of yesterday, we are at 80 cosponsors. The new cosponsors that have signed on to H.R. 1328 since my last message are the following:

 

Rep. Thompson, Bennie G. [D-MS-2]

Rep. Crow, Jason [D-CO-6]

Rep. Morelle, Joseph D. [D-NY-25]

Rep. Kelly, Robin L. [D-IL-2]

Rep. Jackson, Jonathan L. [D-IL-1]

Rep. Soto, Darren [D-FL-9]

Rep. Garcia, Mike [R-CA-27]

Rep. Cohen, Steve [D-TN-9]

 

I’d like to remind you to contact your Senators also to ask them to cosponsor S. 3621. We are excited the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act is bipartisan and in both chambers of the United States Congress. 

 

Thanks for all you do related to our legislative initiatives and congrats to us all on this significant number of cosponsors on H.R. 1328!
