[Ohio-talk] Fw: Our Recent Telephone Conversation

[Cindy Conley]

When we get home from our trip, I would be willing to get Kyle from 
school to go to whatever business this is in Middletown. Can you tell 
us what business it is?

> Dear Dr. Smith,
>    We recently talked on the Telephone about the issue of a member

> animal. As I mentioned, this company has several locations in Ohio. 
> According to the information you sent to me, Ohio provides criminal 
> remedies for such denial. The national Association of guide Dog 
> Users, a division of the National Federation of the Blind, is 
> seeking members who use a guide dog or other service animal, are 
> between the ages of 18 and 65, are in good health, and are willing 
> to help us challenge this unlawful policy. these people will be 
> asked to go to one of this company's facilities and attempt to use 
> their services. The most likely scenario is that they will be denied 
> access. Should this happen, these members need to be prepared to 
> file a criminal complaint with local law enforcement and the State 
> Attorney, a civil complaint with the Ohio Attorney General's office, 
> and a Federal complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice. The
