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.

I blind copied Jeff Kaloc as requested. Adapt this as you wish.

Dear Ms. Peery,

 I live in  Oberlin, Ohio, and I have visited the Portman office every
February for years to discuss the needs of blind Ohioans and the work of the
National Federation of the Blind. I would like to urge SENATOR Portman to
cosponsor the Access Technology Affordability Act, S. 212. This legislation
removes an employment barrier commonly experienced by blind Americans who
cannot afford the high cost of access technology by creating a refundable
tax credit in the amount of $2,000 to offset the cost of this technology.
Without such technology jobs are nearly impossible to get, and
rehabilitation funding is completely inadequate to meeting the need for
poor, blind Ohioans.

 

Thanks,

 

Barbara Pierce (she, her, hers)
