[Ohio-Talk] Written Testimony is Needed quickly for HB188

[Richard Payne]

Annette, I am working on this also. Thanks again to all for your continued prayers.

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

Hello,

Thank you Erik for the vital reminder. I just sent my testimony in, and I hope everybody else is doing the same. Please, please, please get your testimony in. There is nothing more important that the NFB does than to  protect the rights of the blind, especially blind families.

I hope that everybody in the entire room cheers and raises their hand at convention when it is asked who has sent in their testimony.

Thank you to everybody who has done this already, and for those who are planning to.

Like Eric said, the clock is ticking.

I know we are all busy getting ready for convention, but there is not much more you can possibly do that is more important than writing a few paragraphs in support of this bill and making sure your voice is heard. If you need help getting this done, please reach out to other busy people who are also getting ready for convention. Our legislative chair Sheri Albers will provide you with priceless information and assistance, if you just reach out to her.  Barbara Pierce and I will do what we can to assist as well.
