Dear (state) Congressional Delegation:



              (Introduce yourself, include what degree or major you are 
pursuing [1 sentence])

(Here, insert a brief overview of an anecdote you experienced in higher 
education. [5-7 sentences])

(Outline the importance of having these materials/technologies/software [2 
sentences])



(Describe, in detail, the outcome of not having said course material, in 
order to personalize your experience and emphasize the need. [5-7 
sentennces])



              (Assert the importance of equal access to education [2 
sentences])

I urge Congress to support legislation involving equal access to education. 
Voluntary guidelines will benefit both administrators, faculty, and students 
of higher education. By creating these guidelines, colleges and universities 
will then have direction in providing sufficient and equivalent course 
material to print-disabled students.

(Thank your Congressmen for their consideration [1-2 sentences])



Sincerely,

(First and last name)
