If you know of someone who cannot email or fax, please encourage them</span><br><span>to call Senator Nelson's office in Washington D.C. and their closest local</span><br><span>office listed below. Individuals who call may just ask that Senator Nelson</span><br><span>please sign the letter written from Senator Duckworth that he will be</span><br><span>receiving from disabled Floridians from across the state today. Please ask</span><br><span>that the Senator sign this letter. </span><br><span></span><br><span>If this letter receives 51 signatures the chance of a companion bill to H.R.</span><br><span>620 being dropped on the Senate side is slim to none. Although, the National</span><br><span>Federation of the Blind is bipartisan, unfortunately H.R. 620 appeared</span><br><span>supported by one party over the other. At this time, please send this letter</span><br><span>to Senator Bill Nelson's office only. We will have more action needed in a</span><br><span>few days and will keep you updated. You will find an example email if you'd</span><br><span>like to use, as well as the list of Senator Nelson's offices with telephone,</span><br><span>fax numbers, and email information below. If you have any questions please</span><br><span>reach out to me or Camille.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Let's go Florida! </span><br><span></span><br><span>In Federation Love!</span><br><span></span><br><span>Camille & Merry</span><br><span></span><br><span>Example email to Senator's Nelson Regional Director:</span><br><span></span><br><span>Dear Ms. Alvarez,</span><br><span></span><br><span>Please find attached a letter composed by Senator Duckworth to Majority</span><br><span>Leader McConnell and Minority Leader Schumer articulating the importance of</span><br><span>opposing H.R. 620.
