Asunto: Alerta Legislativa Urgente 10 de Septiembre de 2018
Estimados Compañeros Federacionistas:
Estamos en un punto crítico con dos de nuestras prioridades legislativas
que requieren su atención inmediata.
Primero, la Ley de Implementación del Tratado de Marrakech (S. 2559) que
está inactiva en el Comité Judicial de la Cámara. Necesitamos que el
director Goodlatte
libere este
proyecto de ley y lo pónga en el calendario de suspensión de la Cámara
para una votación. El Departamento de Estado no ratificará el tratado
hasta que este proyecto de ley se apruebe
en la Cámara de Representantes,
y el presidente lo promulga. Esta legislación no es controvertida,
cuenta con el respaldo de todas las partes interesadas pertinentes
y fue aprobada por unanimidad
por el Senado el 28 de junio.
Llame al director Goodlatte al 202-225-5431 y anímelo a "apoyar a los
estadounidenses ciegos poniendo la Ley de Implementación del Tratado de
Marrakech,
S. 2559, en
el calendario de suspensión de la Cámara. "Tenga en cuenta que el
formulario web de correo electrónico del director Goodlatte bloquea
cualquier correo
electrónico que provenga de fuera de su distrito, por lo que debe
comunicarse con su oficina
Vía teléfono.
Nuestro segundo tema es la Ley de Acceso Tecnológico de asequibilidad
(H.R. 1734). Tenemos hasta 84 copatrocinadores en la Cámara de
Representantes
y 12 en el Senado. Agradecimientos especiales a
la Federación Nacional de Ciegos de Illinois. Catorce miembros de la
Cámara de Illinois y la senadora Tammy Duckworth copatrocinaron esta
legislación.
Puede comunicarse con su miembro del Congreso llamando a la centralita
preguntando por la oficina en cuestión. El número es 202-224-3121. Si envía
un correo electrónico
a su representante, por favor cópieme a
JPare at nfb.org
<mailto: JPare at nfb.org>.
Cuando llame o envíe un correo electrónico, podría decir algo como lo
siguiente:
"Hola, me llamo [su nombre] y soy un integrante de [su representante].
Vivo en [ciudad, estado]. Llamo para instar a [su representante] a
copatrocinar H.R. 1734, La ley de Acceso Tecnológico de asequibilidad.
Este proyecto de ley aumentaría la disponibilidad de acceso tecnológico,
lo que aumentaría la educación
y oportunidades 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. La Federación Nacional
de Ciegos ha analizado el impacto en los costos y el proyecto de ley es
neutral en costos o ahorrará dinero al gobierno. Insto a [representante]
a copatrocinar
el
proyecto de ley. Gracias."
Los 84 copatrocinadores de la Cámara se enumeran a continuación en orden
alfabético por estado. No necesita contactar a su representante con
respecto a ATAA
si él o ella están
Ya en esta lista.
En resumen, le pedimos que haga dos llamadas. Una al Director Goodlatte
con respecto a la Ley de Implementación del Tratado de Marrakech, y una
segunda
llamada a su
representante con respecto a la Ley de Acceso Tecnológico de
asequibilidad. Si tiene alguna pregunta, puede comunicarse conmigo al
410-659-9314, extensión
2218.
Gracias,
John

Dear Fellow Federationists:
We are at a critical point with two of our legislative priorities which need your immediate attention.
First, the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act (S. 2559) is sitting idle in the House Judiciary Committee. We need Chairman Goodlatte to discharge this bill and put it on the House suspension calendar for a vote. The Department of State will not ratify the treaty until the House of Representative passes this bill and the president signs it into law. This legislation is noncontroversial, supported by all relevant stakeholders, and was passed unanimously by the Senate on June 28.
Please call Chairman Goodlatte at 202-225-5431 and urge him to "support blind Americans by putting the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act, S. 2559, on the House suspension calendar." Note that Chairman Goodlatte's email web-form blocks any emails from outside his district, so please contact his office via phone.
Our second topic is the Access Technology Affordability Act (H.R. 1734). We are up to 84 cosponsors in the House and 12 in the Senate. Special thanks to the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois. Fourteen House members from Illinois and Senator Tammy Duckworth have cosponsored this 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, please copy me at JPare at nfb.org<mailto:JPare at nfb.org>.
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 representative]. I live in [city, state]. I am calling to urge [your representative] to cosponsor H.R. 1734, 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 National Federation of the Blind has analyzed the cost impact and the bill is either cost neutral or will save the government money. I urge [representative] to cosponsor the bill. Thanks."
The 84 House cosponsors are listed below in alphabetical order by state. You do not need to contact your representative regarding ATAA if he or she is already on this list.
In summary we are asking you to make two calls. One to Chairman Goodlatte regarding the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act, and a second call to your representative regarding the Access Technology Affordability Act. If you have any questions I can be reached at 410-659-9314, extension 2218.
Thanks,
John
