You probably already know about the bills in Congress HR 3101  (21st Century
Communications and Video Accessibility Act) and S 3304 (Equal  Access to 
21st
Century Communications Act) that would benefit blind and  visually impaired
people if they pass. I lead a cause in support of these  bills on Facebook -
called Caption Action 2. Caption Action 2 had focused  only on deaf/hard of
hearing, but is now expanding to include blind/visually  impaired because of
our similar needs. CA 2 is at  http://www.causes.com/captionaction2
<http://www.causes.com/captionaction2>  .

NFB leadership already knows about Caption Action 2, but I wanted to  make
you aware too, because time is running out for the current  Congress.
