<DIV>Don’t wait for someone else to make the call, you should be making the
call.</DIV>
<DIV>For those that reside in Congressman Bill Pascrell’s district, this is a
must.</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>If you are president of a chapter in his district, please inform your
members to call.</DIV>
<DIV>If you are a division president, do the same as many of division members
could reside in his district.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Capitol switchboard, </DIV>
