Greetings all,

To help you advocate with confidence and knowledge please review the

Federation of the Blind Washington Seminar Priorities Fact Sheets in HTML,
Word and Audio formats; links provided by National are listed after my

representatives and senators. Also encourage your family, friends,
co-workers, churches and neighbors to contact their representatives across

of blind Americans.

Access Technology Affordability Act

The cost of critically needed access technology is out of reach for most
blind Americans. The Access Technology Affordability Act will improve
affordability of critically needed access technology necessary for
employment and independent living.

Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act

Advanced digital interfaces create barriers that prevent blind individuals
from independently and safely operating home-use medical devices that are
essential to their daily healthcare needs. The Medical Device Nonvisual
Accessibility Act will end unequal access to home-use medical devices for
blind Americans.

Twenty-First Century Website and Applications Accessibility Act

Websites are required by law to be accessible, but without implementing
regulations most businesses and retailers have little understanding of what
accessible means. The Twenty-First Century Mobile Apps and Website
Accessibility Act will end website and mobile application inaccessibility
for blind Americans.

Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act (H.R. 2373/S. 3238)

Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 permits employers to
pay people with disabilities at a rate less than the federal minimum wage
and, in many cases, be separated from their coworkers without disabilities.
The Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act will end this
antiquated and discriminatory practice for all Americans with disabilities.
