This week eight new cosponsors were added to the Access Technology Affordability Act in the House and one in the Senate. We are now up to 145 cosponsors on H.R. 431, and 36 cosponsors on S. 212. This is the largest number of cosponsors we have ever had on the Access Technology Affordability Act in both chambers of Congress. Let’s keep up the momentum by working a little harder in Missouri to get more of our Missouri Congressional Delegation on board. Let’s see, we still need to let Rep. Bush, Rep. Wagner, Rep. Graves, Rep. Long, Rep. Smith and Senator Hawley hear from us and take this next step. I just don’t believe they could be against this straight forward legislation.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Shelia Wright, President<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>National Federation of the Blind of Missouri<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>7928 NW Milrey Drive, Kansas City, MO 64152<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>816-741-6402<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:President@nfbmo.org">President@nfbmo.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.nfbmo.org">www.nfbmo.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The National Federation of the Blind is a community of members and friends who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation’s blind.
