[Nfbmo] Letters can get results

[Gene Coulter]

Everyone be sure to write letters to your state representitive including 
those  in districts near you. A conserted effort is the only way we turn 
things around.
This morning I wrote to Rep. Chris Kelly of Columbia, not my Representitive, 
and within minutes I had a Email from him requesting that I call him It 
turns out he was seeking permission to use the contents of my letter in his 
arguement to increase the funding. .
We chatted and he assured me he is looking to amend the budget to restore as 
much of the funding as he can the obvious trouble is that in order to 
restore the funding he has to find other places to cut the budget.  There is 
no way one representitve  out of 163  will be able to get this done so 
letters now are still critical.
Good luck and happy writing By the way if you don’t know what to say a 
simple letter stating that you want the health care benefits for blind 
persons restored is better than no letter at all.
