Dear Colleagues,

There are two matters pending in the Senate that require our attention this
week. First, we need to engage members of the Senate to make the Marrakesh
Treaty a top priority in 2016. Please call your Senators and urge them to
support the ratification of the Marrakesh Treaty and help make more
published works available to blind people.

Secondly, please urge your Senators to include the language of S. 2596 (our
Space Available legislation in the Senate) in the base language of the
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

I am so thankful for the excellent work you do because no organization moves
a legislative agenda like the National Federation of the Blind. Please call
both of your Senators today! The number to the Capitol Switchboard is (202)
224-3121.

Thanks again for all you do to make sure blind Americans can live the lives
we want.

Parnell

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Make a gift to the National Federation of the Blind and help ensure all
blind Americans live the lives they want
