Time is running out: Sign this White House petition
<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/IFGWTDBJVR/HLMSTDBLAE/9652165416>to ensure the
right to read for the visually impaired.****

 ****

Next week the World Intellectual Property Organization will meet to
negotiate an international treaty for the blind. Big companies like Exxon,
GE, and Caterpillar have been working hard to restrict accessible book
formats from the blind.****

 ****

Making reading materials more available to the blind will not negatively
impact these companies whatsoever, and yet they fight against the right to
read. Please sign the petition today and urge the Obama Administration to
support the right to read.****
