style='font-size:11.0pt'>I am writing once again to remind you of the looming
deadline to submit comments to the FDA on the implementation of the law
requiring the posting of calorie content for snacks and beverages sold from vending
machines. Comments must be submitted by 11:59PM eastern, tonight, on <a
href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Attached to this
message you will find a template to use in submitting your comments. Please fill
the template with your information and delete all instructions before
submitting. If you have any trouble uploading your comments, please email them
to Catriona at <a href="mailto:cmacdonald@linchpinstrategies.com">cmacdonald@linchpinstrategies.com</a>,
and we will be sure the comments are submitted.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:11.0pt'>While we applaud the Iowa Department for the Blind,
and others who have submitted their comments to the FDA, as of this morning,
there have been only 264 comments submitted, the majority of which either voice
support for or opposition to the law, and are therefore irrelevant. The FDA is
seeking input on the implementation of the law, and not comments on the merits
of the law itself. It is vitally important that the FDA hear from as many blind
entrepreneurs as possible regarding the implementation of the requirement to
post calorie content in order to protect Randolph-Sheppard businesses.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
