[NFBWATLK] free matter for the blind

[Marci Carpenter]

I feel certain that we would have heard something from our national leadership if there was even a hint at any change, and such a change could not be made by Executive Order. Congress would have to change the law. This is a case of a letter carrier being wrong. 

Lauren, you are living in California again, right? You might want to let Ever Lee know about this.

I don't mean to be political, but Mr. Trump likes to do things by executive order. An office recently shut down in DC and the staff didn't even know it was going to happen. We just have to stay aware.

So, in case anyone does this to you, here is the pertinent info:
