[NFBNJ] Legislative Alert - May 17, 2021

[Linda Melendez]

>From the desk of Ryan Stevens, NFBNJ Legislative Director

Greetings NFBNJ members,



John Pare, NFB's Executive Director for Advocacy and Policy, sent out a
call for legislative action which needs to be handled immediately. He is
asking every Federationist to contact their US Senators and ask them to
support two amendments to the Endless Frontiers Act proposed by South
Dakota Senator John Thune. The full text of his email is below my signature
block.



I am asking all of you to reach out to both Cory Booker and Robert Menendez
and express your support for Senator Thune's amendments. The more of us who
make calls or send emails to their offices, the greater the chances the
amendments will be added. Here are their Washington phone numbers and the
email addresses to the staffers who work on transportation issues:



Cory Booker (202) 224-3224

Matt      Thomson             NJ           matt_thomson at booker.senate.gov



Robert Menendez (202) 224-4744

Josh       Sanders josh_sanders at menendez.senate.gov



The bill is to be voted on some time this week, so please make your
contacts as soon as possible. If you send an email, please also CC me at
rysteve at comcast.net and Jeff Kaloc from National Center at jkaloc at nfb.org.
Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.



Take care,

 Ryan
