Urgent Important Critical Action

Greetings to all!
We had forwarded yesterday however, additional information is provided.
If we want to make a difference, each voice needs to be heard.
Don’t wait for someone else to make the call, you should be making the call.
For those that reside in Congressman Bill Pascrell’s district, this is a must.
For those that don’t reside in his district, for example, I will make the call and provide the information below and inform the staffperson that I am the President of the National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey and that we have a good number of members residing in his district and I will thank him for his time to consider the information I provided.
If you are president of a chapter in his district, please inform your members to call.
If you are a division president, do the same as many of division members could reside in his district.

The Capitol switchboard, 
202 224-3121 
Ask for the office in question. Emailing your member of Congress is also a good idea. If you do so, please copy JPare at nfb.org. 


The information is provided after my signature block.



We care. We share. We grow. We make a difference

Good Morning Joe:

 

Tax is back and moving quickly. Can you please ask your members to call House Ways and Means committee member Representative Bill Pascrell’s office and ask for 2 things:

 

1.       Please keep the additional standard deduction for the blind by amending HR 1 to on page 25 to remove “and blind” so that it now reads:

“(4) Section 3402(m)(3) is amended by striking ‘‘(including the additional standard deduction under section 63(c)(3) for the aged)’’.”

2.       Please offer an amendment to HR 1 providing for the Access Technology Affordability Act (HR 1377). 

 

Thank you so much!
