> Dear Affiliate President and Student Leader, 
> 
> I hope you are having a joyful holiday season. 
> 
> Unfortunately, I am wrapping up a semester full of issues with access to my text books, course handouts and other necessary instructional materials. Over
> the winter break, during Christmas and New Year’s, I will be worrying about the unforeseeable challenges that I will face in the spring semester. It is
> frustrating that on top of all the other challenges of college, I must be disadvantaged compared to my peers, due to systematic flaws that could be easily
> corrected. I guarantee that many of the blind students in your affiliate can relate. 
> 
> As you know. Washington seminar is now only a little over a month away. Unfortunately, we have not reached our goal of obtaining at least five letters
> from your state. Aim High is finally in the senate. Now more than ever we need your help. Please help enable blind students in overcoming the challenges
> we face every day. Attached to this email please find a template for how to write a letter, along with two sample letters. 
> 
> In January when we meet with members of the senate, we want to be able to show them that this legislation effects their constituents. Only then will a
> senator be willing to support us in our endeavors. 
> 
> Your action now will impact the lives of blind students today and for generations to come. 
> 
> Join us as we work to allow blind students to live the lives they want. We know that together, will love, hope and determination, we can transform dreams
> into reality.
