Fellow Federationists!

We need the calls below made on Monday, no later than 5 PM.  This is urgent.
If you have already done so, thank you!

Best!

Gary Ray

Action Needed on Monday

On Tuesday,  March 13, we believe that the Senate will vote on an amendment
to the So Called Highway Bill.

The Highway bill is the surface transportation bill, S. 1813.  The amendment
we are opposing is Senator Portman's amendment 1742.

This amendment would take the Interstate Vending contracts away from blind
Randolph Sheppard venders.  These venders are small business people who
would be put out of business by this move to commercialize these sites.  It
is bad for small business and especially for our small blind venders.

The Randolph Shepperd Act gave blind business people primacy for setting up
small businesses in certain places.  The Act has come to cover Interstate
vending locations.

On Monday, March 12, we need to call Senator Burr's office at202 224 3154
and Senator Hagan's office at 202-224-5342.  Ask to speak to the Senator's
aide who deals with transportation.  Tell the aide that this amendment is
bad for NC citizens who are blind.  Urge them to vote against the amendment.

I have been asked to pass the following along.

Gary Ray

 Dear students,
I am conducting a study on the current uses and accessibility of podcasts in
online college courses. The current uses of audio podcasts and the
accessibility of audio podcasts in U.S. online college courses as perceived
by learners with vision loss is unknown. For that reason, we are requesting
that you please take our survey to share your perspective. A link to the
online survey on Survey Gizmo is below. The survey will take approximately
15 minutes to complete and will be anonymous.
http://edu.surveygizmo.com/s3/725357/Current-Uses-and-Accessibility-of-Podca
sts-in-Online-College-Courses
Please pass this announcement on to any blind college students that you
know. Please forward to any student listservs that you are on.

Thank you.
