<DIV>Greetings, my fellow New Jersey Federationists,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ratification of the Marrakesh Treaty, which will allow blind persons
around</DIV>
<DIV>the world to obtain books and other print materials in accesible
formats</DIV>
<DIV>much more easily, is rapidly gaining steam in the US Senate. There is
also</DIV>
<DIV>legislation known as the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act, that must
pass</DIV>
<DIV>both houses of Congress to put US law in compliance with the treaty,
and
the</DIV>
<DIV>Senate version is currently being considered. The bill number is S2559,
and</DIV>
<DIV>is under review by the Judiciary and Foreign Relations
Committees.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>New Jersey Senator Corey Booker is on both committees, but has not
signed</DIV>
<DIV>onto S2559. We need you to call his office at (202) 224-3224 and urge
him
to</DIV>
<DIV>do so. NFB is pushing hard to get all members of these two committees
to</DIV>
<DIV>cosponsor the bill, so let's do our part to make this happen.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With regard to our other Senator, Bob Menendez, he is on the
Foreign</DIV>
<DIV>Relations Committee and is already a cosponsor, so if you have not done
so,</DIV>
<DIV>please call him at (202) 224-4744 and thank him for his support on
this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks and take care,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
