Subject: [NFB-Legislative-Directors] Access Technology Affordability Act (H.R. 431/S. 212)

Colleagues:

We got two new cosponsors on the Access Technology Affordability Act, H.R. 431, last week: 

Rep. Valadao CA

Rep. Napolitano CA

That means we are now up to 116 in the House and 33 in the Senate. Please continue to urge your members of Congress to cosponsor this bill. Both the House and Senate are in session this week and they may also be in session part of the next week. It is important that we surge right up to the point when they adjourn for the calendar year.

Some of the folks we are particularly interested in are listed below (alphabetical by state). Getting more cosponsors this week will help ensure we are in the next potential large vehicle. If you are unsure who you need to contact, please email Jesa at jmedders at nfb.org.
