[nfbmi-talk] volunteers needed

[Joe Sontag]

As many of you know, the NFB of Michigan held a successful demonstration at the Governor's offices on March 1 in protest of his executive order that abolishes the Commission for the Blind and would split up the pieces between two different departments. This was followed by visits to the offices of many members of the House Appropriations Committee.  We believe that it is crucial to reach as many members of both the House and Senate appropriations committies with our message as soon as we can in order to stop this ill-conceived plan of the Governor's in its tracks, but there are still more contacts to be made, especially on the Senate side.

If you can be in Lansing on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, March 6, 7 or 8,  and have time to pay a visit to some of our state senators and representatives, then I need to hear from you as soon as possible.  Right now, Tuesday is the best day for this activity.

Hope to hear from a number of you soon!
