[Stancil Tootle]

Hi Everyone!
 
#FixWIA Wednesday is here! It’s time to email, fax, or call your Senators. It’s also time to spread the word to everyone you know: WIA needs to be fixed. One way to do this is through social media.
 
You can follow NFB_Voice on Twitter to receive tweets from our national office or become a friend of the NFB on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/NationalFederationoftheBlind) to read our Facebook posts. Retweet and share posts that resonate with you.
 
The following are sample messages you can use, and I also encourage you to create your own:
 
 
We worked hard to ensure that subminimum wage employment was not a successful VR case closure. Let’s keep it that way. #FixWIA
 
Quality education and rehabilitation lead to competitive integrated employment. Keep RSA in the Dept. of Education. #FixWIA
 
Sec. 511 puts subminimum wages of Sec 14(c) of the FLSA into the #rehabact. #FixWIA focus on competitive integrated employment.
 
Shaking up #rehabact without data and research could adversely affect millions of PWDs. #FixWIA
 
 
Thank you all for your hard work. If we each do our part, WIA will be fixed.
