[Ohio-talk] URGENT ACTION NEEDED FOR HB 309

[Ali Benmerzouga]

Hello Mike,

Thanks a lot for your reply. All the best with your visit today to the
Senators!

All six emails were sent and six calls were made. All my calls were live
except one, I left a message.

One more thing, Senator Cecil Thomas supports the Bill, as his secretary
told me.

Let us give this important bill a final push and help our Legislative Team
of The National Federation of the Blind of Ohio have a happy and fruitful
ending after all the time, effort they have invested in making this bill
reach this far. Two thumbs up!

As Barbara Pierce informed us, the six calls take about 15 minutes or so.
Also, The six emails take more or less the same time. You can use Sheri
Albers's' template/version to compose and send your emails that she provided
three days ago or so. Please do so immediately! Time is sprinting!

Grab your phone and start dialing now please! This is a very serious
business since we repeatedly and loudly claim in the beginning of our
monthly meeting when saying our NFB pledge, i.e.,  "I pledge to participate
actively in the effort of the Federation .
This bill falls in that category!

Go Ohio! 

Have a great day y'all.

Ali

Hello,
I am not Sherry, however it is fine if you send emails today and make phone
calls tomorrow. Please let us know when you call if you get any substantive
comments from AIDS or senators. Thank you all in advance for your
assistance. Again this is our final big push our vote keeps getting pushed
down the line, and the last day for this year session is December 19. We
have a lot to do in a little amount of time.

Best,

Michael Leiterman

What to say:

As a member of the Senate Rules and Reference Committee, I am contacting you
in regards to HB 309. The National Federation of the Blind of Ohio is in
full support of this bill. This piece of legislation would prohibit a
person's blindness from being used to deny or limit custody, parenting time,
visitation, adoption, guardianship, or foster caregiver regarding a minor.
Again, we are in support of this legislation, it should be noted that H.B
309 has not faced any opposition during the legislative process. Please
support HB 309, and schedule it for vote before the full Senate on
Wednesday, December 19, 2018.

Best Regards,

Sheri Albers, Vice President

National Federation of the Blind of Ohio
