Act (WIA) Reauthorization

Federation:

First of all, I would like to apologize for the incorrect emails listed for
several contacts in the previous call to action.   I have an updated list
below with corrected information for Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington,
and Wyoming.  We have also included the Twitter names for each Senator.  We
are using the hash tags #fairwages and #WIA.
Please continue to provide me with updates on your efforts to make phone
calls, send e-mails, and post to social media to save rehabilitation
services for people with disabilities.

We need all of our members, family members, friends, colleagues, and
acquaintances that reside in states where their Senator serves on the HELP
committee to make calls, send e-mails, post tweets, and Facebook messages to
communicate the following two straightforward requests to their Senator:

I am a voting constituent in the state and I am respectfully requesting that
the WIA reauthorization be amended to:

(1) Remove Section 511 of the Rehabilitation Act.
(2) Remove the language transferring RSA to the Department of Labor.

We will continue this action through Tuesday, July 30.  Use the information
below to make calls to your particular Senator's office and send e-mails to
each of the e-mail addresses listed for your Senator.  Remember, once you
have made your calls, sent your e-mails, posted your tweets and Facebook
messages, get others to do the same.

Sincerely,

Anil
