[Nfbf-l] Senate blocks ADA changes

[Merry Schoch]

Dear Brian,

I appreciate you sharing and sending this communication to us all! I am in
hopes that with this letter we can be assured this legislation is blocked;
however, you are correct we need to continue our efforts.  I am in great
hopes that our Senators will sign on.  So far, we have had three different
areas of our state visit Senator Nelson's offices in Tallahassee,
Jacksonville, and Tampa. Two chapters have been able to visit Senator
Rubio's offices in Jacksonville and Tallahassee.  Thank you all for your
hard work and due diligence.  If any other chapters are able to get meetings
with the Senators please let us know.

Thank you all for your legislative support for Florida!

With warmest regards,
Merry

Subject: Senate blocks ADA changes

Dear NFB family,

Attached is a press release on 43 senators who have signed Senator Tammy
Duckworth letter. Also, attachment includes article by Senator Duckworth in
Washington Post, and explanation of difference between federal ADA
legislation and the laws in several states including Florida allowing for
damages. I noticed that our Florida senators were absent from the 43 listed,
so we should continue our persuasion efforts.
Peace and love,
Brian Norton
