Hello all,
I and many others are having trouble gettin through to the Senators' D.C.
offices. It helps and they pass it right up to call their local offices. Our
Senators' offices locally are the following:
Bob Corker 615-279-8125
Lamar Alexander 615-736-5129
Hello my name is Jody Shaw, my address is:
Please ask Senator Corker or Alexander to vote no on the Nelson Collins
ammendment that would take 500 million dollars from Vocational Rehabilitation.
Do not be intemidated to give your address, they send a thank you card for
getting involved.
Be well,
JS

National Federation of the Blind Rejects Nelson-Collins Amendment
Urges Senate to Retain Rehabilitation Funding
Baltimore, Maryland (February 6, 2009): Dr. Marc Maurer, President of
the National Federation of the Blind, the oldest and largest
organization of blind people in the United States, said: "The purpose
of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 currently being
debated in the United States Senate is to reduce unemployment and to
restore economic security for all Americans. In order to accomplish
this goal for Americans who are blind or have other disabilities,
state vocational rehabilitation programs must be adequately funded.
The National Federation of the Blind urges all members of the United
States Senate to reject the Nelson-Collins Amendment and retain the
$500 million currently allocated for vocational rehabilitation. By
doing so, the Senate will ensure that all Americans have the training
needed to work and contribute to this nation's economic prosperity."
