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

Good Afternoon Mr. Payne:

 

Tax is back and moving quickly through the Senate. Can you please ask your members to call Senate Finance Committee member Sherrod Brown’s office and ask for 2 things related to tax reform:

 

1.	Please keep the additional standard deduction for the blind as currently stated in the Senate version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

 

2.	Please offer an amendment to HR 1 providing for the Access Technology Affordability Act (S 732). 

 

Thank you so much!
