[Nfbnet-members-list] Calling on All NFB Family

[David Andrews]

>Dear NFB Family,
>
>WE are in great need of support for a crisis in Mississippi. 
>Recently HB960 was introduced to the Education Committee. We as 
>members of Parents of Blind Children sat down with Mississippi 
>Department of Education and Mississippi School for the Blind. We 
>made compromises to include their thoughts and made an agreement on 
>the bill that would go through house and Senate. It (HB960) passed 
>the House Education Committee with the agreed upon changes. It 
>passed Senate Education Committee without the agreed upon changes 
>and weaker language. We need you to email our Representatives and 
>Our Senators in support of HB960. This bill calls for competent 
>braille teachers, text books on time, and aligns MS law with federal 
>law when providing braille to low vision and blind students.
>Please help us by listening to the video link below and then email 
><mailto:representatives at house.ms.gov>representatives at house.ms.govand 
><mailto:seantors at senate.ms.gov>seantors at senate.ms.gov. Help us show 
>Mississippi that 50,000 plus blind people are interested in the 
>education of blind and low vision students. Let them know we will 
>not sit on the outside of the room while they decide the future of our kids.
>Thank you,
>Casey Robertson
