> Hi Legislative Directors!

> I write to share with you a wonderfully written op-ed by Congressman Gregg Harper.  He eloquently expresses his opinion that 14c is antiquated, discriminatory and immoral.  He urges his fellow Members of Congress to cosponsor the Fair Wages for Workers with Disabilities Act.    
>  
> Here is a link to the article: http://thehill.com/opinion/op-ed/208132-subminimum-wage-must-end. 
>  
> I will be forwarding this to the Congressional offices, but feel free to share with you Members of Congress as well!

> 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.
