Hello NFB of Ohio,



This is our final push to pass HB 309 for this year's session. We have identified the following Senators who need to hear from us. They are members of the Senate Rules and Reference Committee, and all but Senator Obhof, served on the Senate Judiciary Committee. We are asking you to make phone calls and send emails today and Monday using the script I have prepared below.  Mike and I will be at the Ohio State House on Monday and Tuesday knocking on doors to share this message in person. Thank you in advance for your efforts, and let's get this done!



Senator Larry Obhof 614-466-7505 RM 201  <mailto:obhof at ohiosenate.gov> obhof at ohiosenate.gov

What to say:



As a member of the Senate Rules and Reference Committee, I am contacting you in regards to HB 309. The National Federation of the Blind of Ohio is in full support of this bill. This piece of legislation would prohibit a person's blindness from being used to deny or limit custody, parenting time, visitation, adoption, guardianship, or foster caregiver regarding a minor.

Again, we are in support of this legislation, it should be noted that H.B

309 has not faced any opposition during the legislative process. Please support HB 309, and schedule it for vote before the full Senate on Wednesday, December 19, 2018.



Best Regards,



Sheri Albers, Vice President



National Federation of the Blind of Ohio
