<div> </div>
<div>Congratulations to all that emailed and called Governor Murphy and
Acting
Commissioner Johnson with your letter and the facts sheet on the importance
to
preserve the NJ CBVI.</div>
<div>Your individual and collective voices were heard as we want to continue
to
raise expectations to live the life we want!</div>
<div>I know when we need you again, you will be available to assist to
change
what it means to be blind!</div>
<div>The National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey are the blind
speaking
for ourselves!</div>
