[nfbwatlk] Fwd: HR 188 - TIME Act

[Marci Carpenter]

Bravo for Congressman Larsen! This happened because Dan Hodges set up a meeting with Adam Lemieux, the Congressman’s District Director in the Everett office. Dan, Tasha Budnik and I went to that meeting and worked as a team to present our issues. I would strongly encourage other local chapters to set up such meetings when our Congresspeople and Senators are in their districts. You don’t have to worry about knowing exactly when that is. Just call the offices and ask. Local action works!

The National Federation of the Blind of Washington 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.

> I wanted to let you know that Congressman Rick Larsen added his name as a cosponsor to H.R. 188, the TIME Act.  Please feel free to share this with the other community members I had the opportunity to meet as the bill was not on our radar until you all brought it to our attention last year.
