[Nfbwv-talk] Fwd: [Nfbnet-members-list] Fwd: NFB Legislative Alert - November 6, 2017

[Sheri Koch]

The new Tax Cut  and Jobs Act.   of 2017 (H.R. 1) has been introduced into the house. It repeals the additional standard deduction for blind people.  if you don’t want to see this happen,  please call your representative and voice your opinion against it. I was suggest you call the main Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for your representative’s office.

Below is the email for your convenience.  

Let’s make our voices heard. 

Thank you

Sheri
