Asunto: Alerta Legislativa - 10 de agosto de 2018

Estimados Compañeros Federacionistas:

Esta alerta legislativa se centra en La Ley de Acceso Tecnológico (H.R. 
1734 / S. 732). Estamos haciendo un buen progreso en esta

legislación y estamos arriba

a ochenta copatrocinadores en la Cámara y diez en el Senado. Además, el 
Comité Conjunto de Impuestos (JCT) está trabajando activamente para 
determinar

el costo anual

del proyecto de ley, coloquialmente conocido como el "Puntaje" del 
Proyecto de Ley. Esperamos tener este Puntaje antes del receso del Día 
del Trabajo. Una

puntuación baja combinada con el apoyo de

JCT aumentará sustancialmente la probabilidad de la aprobación de la 
propuesta.

Todo esto significa que ahora es el momento de trabajar más arduamente 
para desarrollar el apoyo de los copatrocinadores tanto para H.R. 1734 
como para S. 732.

Por lo tanto, llame o envíe un correo electrónico a su representante y 
pídale que sea copatrocinador de H.R. 1734 y llame o envíe un correo 
electrónico

a sus dos senadores y solicíteles que sean copatrocinadores.

Cuando llame o envíe un correo electrónico, podría decir algo como lo 
siguiente:

"Hola, me llamo [su nombre] y soy un constituyente de [su senador / 
representante]. Vivo en [ciudad, estado]. Estoy llamando para urgir [a 
su senador

/ representante]

copatrocinar [S. 732 para llamadas al Senado / H.R. 1734 para llamadas a 
la Cámara ], La Ley Tecnológica de Acceso. Este proyecto

de ley aumentaría la disponibilidad de

acceso a la tecnología, lo que aumenta las oportunidades educativas y de 
empleo para todos los estadounidenses ciegos. El proyecto de ley hace 
esto al

crear un crédito fiscal para

la compra de tecnología de acceso. El proyecto de ley tiene un amplio 
respaldo de copatrocinadores con ochenta copatrocinadores en la Cámara 
de Representantes

y diez en el Senado. Insto [a su senador / representante]

a copatrocinar el proyecto de ley. Gracias."

Además, consulte la lista al final de este correo electrónico para ver 
la lista actual de copatrocinadores del Senado y la Cámara que figuran 
en orden

alfabético por estado. No necesita

llamar a alguna persona en esta lista, a menos que desee llamarlos y 
agradecerles por su copatrocinio.

La Cámara de Representantes se encuentra actualmente en receso por lo 
que es posible que desee considerar la programación de una reunión en 
persona en

el distrito para discutir este tema.

Si está en una reunión, querrá entrar en más detalles, pero las llamadas 
y los correos electrónicos no tienen que ser muy largos. Los puntos 
clave a mencionar:

el número de la propuesta,

si es un constituyente, e inste al miembro del Congreso a copatrocinar 
la legislación.

Puede comunicarse con su miembro del Congreso llamando al la Centralita 
del Capitolio preguntando por la oficina en cuestión. El número es 
202-224-3121. Si envía

un correo electrónico

a su representante o senadores, por favor cópieme en

JPare at nfb.org

<mailto:JPare at nfb.org>.

Es fundamental que avancemos de esta manera, por lo que debe esforzarse 
por realizar sus llamadas y enviar sus correos electrónicos lo antes 
posible.

Un cordial saludo,

John

Dear Fellow Federationists:

This legislative alert focuses on the Access Technology Affordability Act (H.R. 1734/S. 732). We are making good progress on this legislation and are up to eighty cosponsors in the House and ten in the Senate. Also, the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) is actively working to determine the annual cost of the bill, colloquially known as the bill's "score." We are hoping to have this score before the Labor Day break. A low score combined with support from JCT will substantially increase the likelihood of the bill's passage.

All of this means that now is the time to work extra hard to build cosponsor support for both H.R. 1734 and S. 732.

Therefore, please call or email your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor H.R. 1734 and call or email your two senators and ask them to cosponsor S. 732.

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

"Hello, my name is [your name] and I am a constituent of [your senator/representative]. I live in [city, state]. I am calling to urge [your senator/representative] to cosponsor [S. 732 for Senate calls/H.R. 1734 for House calls], the Access Technology Affordability Act. This bill would increase the availability of access technology thereby increasing educational and employment opportunities for all blind Americans. The bill does this by creating a tax credit for the purchase of access technology. The bill has wide cosponsor support with eighty cosponsors in the House and ten in the Senate. I urge [your senator/representative] to cosponsor the bill. Thanks."

Also, please check the list at the end of this email for the current list of Senate and House cosponsors listed alphabetically by state. You do not need to call anyone on this list, unless you would like to call them and thank them for their cosponsorship.

The House of Representatives is currently on recess so you may want to consider scheduling an in-person meeting in the district to discuss this topic. If you are in a meeting, you will want to go into more detail but calls and emails do not have to be very long. The key points to mention: the bill number, that you are a constituent, and that you urge the member of Congress to cosponsor the legislation.

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. If you email your representative or senators, please copy me at JPare at nfb.org<mailto:JPare at nfb.org>.

It is critical that we move on this quickly, so please strive to make your calls and send your emails as soon as possible.

Warm regards,

John
