<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>From the desk of Vincent G Chaney Jr, President, New Jersey
Association of Guide Dog Users (NJAGDU):<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We, the New Jersey Association of Guide Dog Users, support
Assembly A2728, designated as “Dusty’s Law”. We request all NFBNJ members,
family, friends and New Jersey citizens to advocate for this bill to become
law by contacting their two Assembly-persons and Senator today when a
follow-up message is forwarded with the Senate instructions. This requires us
to contact each New Jersey State Legislature (Senate and Assembly) to have the
“Dusty’s Law” bill become law for Guide Dog users today and in the
future.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Please let your Assembly-persons know you support the bill,
Assembly No. 2728, and you are asking them to become a sponsor or co-sponsor.
Please share this message with anyone without email to open this call to
family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, businesses, churches,
etc...<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Should you not know who your Assembly-Persons or Senator
are, you could do one of the following:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P
class=MsoNormal>
1. Call the Office of Legislative Services<o:p></o:p></P>
<P
class=MsoNormal>
Office of Public Information<o:p></o:p></P>
<P
class=MsoNormal>
Toll Free: 800-792-8630<o:p></o:p></P>
<P
class=MsoNormal>
Phone: 609-847-3905<o:p></o:p></P>
<P
class=MsoNormal>
2. Contact your local library<o:p></o:p></P>
<P
class=MsoNormal>
3. Call your Town Hall<o:p></o:p></P>
<P
class=MsoNormal>
4. Click on the link: <A
href="http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/districtnumbers.asp">http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/districtnumbers.asp</A><o:p></o:p></P>
<P
class=MsoNormal>
On this page, look for your city/town by browsing through the District list or
use a screen reader “find” to search for your town.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P
class=MsoNormal>
The link before the list of towns within a district gives Senator and
Assembly-Person names, phone numbers, address, etc. The link below the towns
gives professional background information of each
representative.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>If this step (4) was not working for you, you may wish to
click on the next link. This will break down the towns and cities further.
When you click on your town though, it will bring you back to the point of the
above step (4), but you will know where your town/city would be
included.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.25in" class=MsoNormal>To determine your district
number by the Municipality (town or city name) if you had a
problem:<o:p></o:p></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">A2728 criminalizes
attacks on guide dogs and guide dogs in training which may interfere with the
work of the dogs or may cause injury or death. Designating these attacks as a
criminal act is essential, as it will ensure a police response when a guide
dog or guide dog in training is attacked—something which no other law
currently does. This bi-partisan legislation also calls for fines levied to an
individual who is found guilty, and includes restitution for vet bills, value
of guide dog and costs to replace and train with a new guide dog. The
Senate version of this bill (S1907) has also garnered bi-partisan
support.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

blindness is not the loss of eyesight; it is the misunderstanding and lack of
information that exists. Given the proper training and opportunity, blindness
can be reduced to a physical nuisance. We urge the New Jersey Assembly to hear
us for equality and support this legislative initiative.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
