<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I am writing to urge Congressman Waltz to cosponsor H.R. 2086 the Access Technology Affordability Act. 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 these technologies. I am respectfully urging Congressman Waltz to cosponsor the bill.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
