[NFB-Utah] NABM Needs our help

[Nfb Utah]

Hello All,

Several weeks ago, we circulated a link that would allow you to send
letters directly to your members of Congress expressing concern over
proposed legislation to allow commercialization of the interstate rest
areas. Such legislation would be devastating to blind vendors who operate
vending at interstate rest areas and to SLA’s who rely on funds from third
party vendors at these sites to operate their program and to offer benefits
to their vendors. Rest area commercialization would result in almost 400
lost jobs, the loss of fringe benefits for hundreds, and lost revenue with
which to operate the programs.

We’ve had a good response so far; however, with summer over, the kids back
in school, and BLAST out of the way, it is time to ramp things up again.
Please go to
https://nfb.constituentvoice.net/nfbaction/us-nabm_online_letter_to_congress_commercialization
and register your concerns. It will take you less than 2 minutes.

Once you have sent your letters, please:

1. Ask friends and family to do the same;
2. Post it on your Facebook page and/or Twitter account and ask all of your
social media friends to log on and send letters;
3. Forward this email to every vendor in your state and stress the
importance of letting their voices be heard.

Together, we can make a difference. ACT NOW!

National Association of Blind Merchants
