[Nfb-new-hampshire] End sub-minimum wages for people with disabilities in NH -Call on Monday 4-14-04

[Penny Duffy]

Friends,


>From all my heart I ask for your help to end the horrible practice of
paying people with disabilities  below the minimum wage in New Hampshire.
 YES this immoral practice is legal.  The time is now to end it. Currently
there is no one in the state of NH paid sub-minimum wages.  Bill *HB1174* which
has already  passed the HOUSE  and is before the Senate is to do a study of
the practice of paying sub-minimum wages to persons with disabilities in
the State of New Hampshire.  Well I have exciting news to tell you.
 Senator Hosmer is bringing forth an amendment for the the bill to outlaw
the practice of allowing sub-minimum wages entirely in New Hampshire.  We
could be the first state to end this horrible
practice discriminating practice.

I am pleading as the mother of my beautiful 10 year old daughter Abby who
also happens to be blind.  PLEASE. Spread the word

This is a time sensitive message.  The Senate Commence Committee is going
to vote on this bill most likely on *Tuesday April 15th* so I am asking you
Call and email the members of the committee on Monday.  Its important you
say you support the  *Hosmer Amendment* to ban the practice in New
Hampshire.
