[NFBEspanol-Talk] En Español, [Nfbnet-members-list] Legislative Alert - 11.29.2023

[nfb frida]

Estimada Familia Federalista:

Espero que hayan tenido una feliz fiesta la semana pasada. El Congreso
vuelve a sesionar esta semana y acabamos de enterarnos de que es
posible que se agregue un componente tributario de fin de año
a la anual
Ley de Autorización de Defensa Nacional,
National Defense Authorization Act.
Creemos que
la Ley de Acceso Tecnológico Asequible,
Access Technology Affordability Act,
(H.R. 3702/S. 1467) es una candidata perfecta para ese
paquete. La mejor manera de lograr que los directores de los comités
se den cuenta del proyecto de ley es aumentar al máximo posible el
recuento de copatrocinadores
tanto en la Cámara como en el Senado.
Actualmente tenemos 44 copatrocinadores en la Cámara y 14 en el
Senado. (Las listas actuales de copatrocinadores para ambas cámaras se
detallan a continuación). Como recordatorio rápido,
La Ley de Acceso Tecnológico Asequible,
Access Technology Affordability Act,
crearía un crédito fiscal reembolsable de $2.000 que podría usarse
para compensar el alto costo de acceso tecnológico. Para una
explicación más detallada,
puede leer nuestra
Hoja informativa de
la Ley de Acceso Tecnológico Asequible,
Access Technology Affordability Act.
http://nfbnet.org/pipermail/nfbespanol-talk_nfbnet.org/2023-November/003480.html

Incluso si ya se ha comunicado con sus miembros del Congreso, es
esencial que nos comuniquemos nuevamente porque a veces las notas y
los correos electrónicos
se extravían
y debemos asegurarnos de que nuestros representantes en Washington
reciban nuestro mensaje. Recuerde, no se trata solo de que usted llame
y envíe correos electrónicos, sino que todos trabajemos juntos
y así se exhibe toda la fuerza de la Federación Nacional de Ciegos.

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

"Hola, me llamo [SU NOMBRE], y Soy un elector del [NOMBRE DEL
SENADOR/REPRESENTANTE]. vivo en [CIUDAD, ESTADO]. Me gustaría instar a
[NOMBRE DEL SENADOR/REPRESENTANTE] para copatrocinar la Ley de Acceso
Tecnológico Asequible,
Access Technology Affordability Act,
S. 1467/H.R. 3702. Esta legislación elimina una barrera laboral que
comúnmente enfrentan
los Estadounidenses ciegos que no pueden afrontar el alto costo del
acceso tecnológico mediante la creación de un crédito fiscal
reembolsable por una cantidad
de $2.000 para compensar el costo de esta tecnología.

Gracias."

Puede comunicarse con su miembro del Congreso llamando a la Centralita
del Capitolio y preguntando por la oficina en cuestión. El número es
202-224-3121. También tenemos
Adjunta una lista de contactos para las oficinas del Senado y la
Cámara de Representantes
 ordenadas por estado, a este correo electrónico, pero si tiene alguna
pregunta sobre los contactos de la oficina, comuníquese con
Lindsey Walsh at
lwalsh at nfb.org.
Si se comunica con sus senadores y representantes por correo
electrónico, envíeme una copia a
jkaloc at nfb.org.
Sus llamadas y correos electrónicos marcan una diferencia.

Gracias por todo lo que hace,

Jeff

Dear Federation Family:

I hope you had a great holiday last week. Congress is back in session
this week and we have just learned that there may be a year-end tax
component added to the annual National Defense Authorization Act. We
believe the Access Technology Affordability Act (H.R. 3702/S. 1467) is
a perfect candidate for that package. The best way to get committee
chairs to notice the bill is to drive the cosponsor counts in both the
House and the Senate as high as we can. We currently have 44
cosponsors in the House and 14 in the Senate (current cosponsor lists
for both chambers below). As a quick reminder, the Access Technology
Affordability Act would create a $2,000 refundable tax credit that
could be used to offset the high cost of access technology. For a more
thorough explanation, you can read our Access Technology Affordability
Act fact sheet<https://nfb.org/sites/nfb.org/files/2023-10/Access-Technology-Affordability-Act-Fact-Sheet.docx>.

Even if you may have already reached out to your members of Congress,
it is essential that we reach out again because sometimes notes and
emails are misplaced and we need to ensure our representatives in
Washington receive our message. Remember, it is not just you calling
and emailing, but when we all work together the full strength of the
National Federation of the Blind is on display.

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. 1467/H.R. 3702. 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."

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 a contact list for Senate and
House offices, sorted by state, to this email, but if you have any
questions on office contacts, please contact Lindsey Walsh at
lwalsh at nfb.org<mailto:lwalsh at nfb.org>. If you contact your senators
and representative via email, please copy me at
jkaloc at nfb.org<mailto:jkaloc at nfb.org>. Your calls and emails do make a
difference.

Thank you for all that you do,
Jeff
