"Dear Valerie,
On behalf of Benetech and our Bookshare program, I want to thank you for taking
action to support Bookshare funding last fall. Now we urgently need your help
again! Why? Bookshare funding remains in jeopardy as the new Congress considers
the budget for both the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years. Your representative and
senators need to hear from you AGAIN. Please act now and ask them to support
Bookshare as they consider programs to receive federal funding.
As you may recall, the House of Representatives proposed a FY2017 funding bill
that would, in effect, defund Bookshare. In recent months, we have worked with
Bookshare supporters in specifically targeted states and districts to advocate
for funding of the program that funds Bookshare, known as the Educational
Technology, Media, and Materials Program. We need your help again to enlist the
support of your members of Congress. Please ask your Members of the House of
Representatives and Senate to preserve funding for the Educational Technology,
Media, and Materials Program.

Hearing from constituents is crucial for Members of Congress-it can often mean
the difference between their support for a program or not. So, we need your
help! Please use this link to send a letter to your senators and
representative.

We encourage you to customize these letters by including information about the
impact Bookshare has had for your child or in your school.
This is a critical time for Bookshare, and your help is essential to ensure
that the program will continue. Thank you for your continued support, and do
not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jim Fruchterman
CEO
Benetech"
Hope that helps!
