[Ohio-Talk] Legislative Alert: Please act!

I sent an email yesterday. It is very easy and quick to do. It is the least we can do to help.

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.

> In January of this year President Biden nominated Karla Gilbride, an outstanding graduate of Georgetown Law School who happens to be blind, to serve as the general counsel for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Some highlights of her career include arguing a case in front of the US Supreme Court resulting in a unanimous decision in her favor, and winning a case in which she represented NFB member Joe Orozco before the Federal Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.
>  
> Recently, Karla’s nomination was reported favorably out of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, and we want to make sure that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer understands the importance of advancing Ms. Gilbride’s nomination to the Senate floor. That is why we need all of you to please call Senator Schumer’s office at 202-224-6542 to urge him to bring her nomination vote to the Senate floor immediately. You can also email Senator Schumer’s nominations director, Catalina Tam, at Catalina_tam at schumer.senate.gov <mailto:Catalina_tam at schumer.senate.gov>.
