Dear Federation Family:

We did an excellent job building cosponsor support for all of our bills
during Washington Seminar. The purpose of this legislative alert is to focus
on the Access Technology Affordability Act. We are now up to 145 cosponsors
in the House and 36 in the Senate. This is more cosponsors than in any
previous Congress. 

The more cosponsors we have the more likely it will be included in an
upcoming legislative package. So, if your Representative has not cosponsored
H.R. 431, or one or both of your Senators has not yet cosponsored S. 212,
please email or call them and urge them to do so. The House and Senate are
both in session this week, so if all possible, please try to contact your
Representative or Senators by Friday, March 11. 

When you call or email, you might say the following:

"Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I am a constituent of
[SENATOR/REPRESENTATIVE NAME]. I live in [CITY, STATE]. I would like to urge
[SENATOR/REPRESENTATIVE NAME] to cosponsor the Access Technology
Affordability Act, S. 212/H.R. 431. This legislation removes an employment
barrier commonly experienced by blind Americans who cannot afford the high
cost of access technology by creating a refundable tax credit in the amount
of $2,000 to offset the cost of this technology.
