[Ohio-Talk] Ohio Legislative Alert

[Barbara Pierce]

I have just updated the testimony I submitted last year to the Senate. I have used the information you gave in your email. Should I send it to the Aide in Erica’s office, or do you want to see it and submit it if it is right?

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
