Dear Federation Family:



We did an excellent job building cosponsor support for all of our bills
during Washington Seminar. The purpose of this legislative alert is to
focus on the Access Technology Affordability Act. We are now up to 145
cosponsors in the House and 36 in the Senate. This is more cosponsors than
in any previous Congress.



The more cosponsors we have the more likely it will be included in an
upcoming legislative package. So, if your Representative has not
cosponsored H.R. 431, or one or both of your Senators has not yet
cosponsored S. 212, please email or call them and urge them to do so. The
House and Senate are both in session this week, so if all possible, please
try to contact your Representative or Senators by Friday, March 11.



When you call or email, you might say the following:



"Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I am a constituent of
[SENATOR/REPRESENTATIVE NAME]. I live in [CITY, STATE]. I would like to
urge [SENATOR/REPRESENTATIVE NAME] to cosponsor the Access Technology
Affordability Act, S. 212/H.R. 431. This legislation removes an employment
barrier commonly experienced by blind Americans who cannot afford the high
cost of access technology by creating a refundable tax credit in the amount
of $2,000 to offset the cost of this technology.

Thanks."



A current list of Senate and House cosponsors is below. You can contact
your member of Congress by calling the Capitol Switchboard and asking for
the office in question. The number is 202-224-3121. We have also attached
contact lists for Senate and House offices to this email, but if you have
any questions on office contacts, please contact Jesa Medders at
jmedders at nfb.org. If you contact your senators and representative via
email, please copy Jeff Kaloc at jkaloc at nfb.org. Your calls and emails do
make a difference.



Thank you for all that you do,

John

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
