[NFB-Idaho] important information

[pres.nfbidaho at gmail.com]

We need to contact our national representatives to tell them to co-sponsor
the Access Technology Affordability Act, (see below). Also, if you are
planning to attend our national convention, registration ends at the end of
May. The Marriott is filling up fast, so you need to book rooms now. 

Access Technology Affordability Act – Legislative Alert:

On Friday, John Paré sent out a legislative alert regarding the Access
Technology Affordability Act (H.R. 1529). The intention of the alert was to
initiate a wave of advocacy for the Access Technology Affordability Act so
that it can gain a significant amount of cosponsor support, with the
ultimate goal being to include it in the upcoming tax package. Time is
somewhat limited for this endeavor, as the House is reportedly starting
discussions and beginning to mark up the new tax bill sometime this week. It
is imperative that we all call or email our representatives in the House and
urge them to cosponsor the Access Technology Affordability Act as soon as
possible. We encourage you to mention that Mathematica, an independent and
respected economic forecasting company, estimates that the Access Technology
Affordability Act will save the federal government $315 million dollars over
a five-year period if it is enacted. So please, don’t wait. Call or email
your representative in the House today!
