Greetings,
We are working toward getting the Voting Rights for Blind persons in Iowa improved as you already know. We are urging everyone to contact their State Senator and/or State Representative to encourage them to help pass legislation that will make our voting easier and more private.
If you would like to contact your Legislators it is easy to do. First of all, if you don’t know who your representative or Senator is you can look that up on the web at
LEGIS.IOWA.GOV
Or contact me and I will be glad to get it for you.
Now you say you don’t know how to put together an email to your person, it is not difficult. It doesn’t need to be long, it doesn’t need to be complicated. Below is a copy of the message that Kim brown wrote and it says all it really needs to say. I would be glad to add that Kim’s email caused her Senator to get back to her and show some real interest in what we are doing.
Take a look at this message and think about how you can do your part. If all of us do a bit, we can win this important victory.
Bob Ray
Legislative Chair
National Federation Of The Blind Of Iowa

Subject: Voting rights for all
Hi Mr. Goodwin,
I live in Louisa County in Iowa. My son and I are blind, and we would like to be able to vote independently without sighted help.
Blind Iowans are hoping you might sponsor a Bill to improve voting rights for all of us.
Please contact me with any questions you may have.
Thank you.
