I am sending out a sample letter to Congressmen and Senators. I'd
like to ask for your help in making our politicians aware of our
program. By sending your elected representatives this letter, or
one like it, you can let them know what disabled people are doing
to help each other. Please take a moment to let them know that we
are here.

Honorable Senator/Congressman
United States Senate/House of Representatives
Washington, DC.

Dear Congressman/Senator,

        I am writing to you to ask your support and letter of
recommendation for ADAnet, an international computer network. It
links disabled people together around the world. ADAnet also allows
non-disabled people to gain an understanding of disability and how
disability can be accommodated in our everyday lives.

        My friend Bill Freeman is the founder of the Disability
Law Foundation of Birmingham, Alabama and ADAnet. He is currently
working very closely with Congressman Erdreich, as well as Senators
Heflin and Shelby of Alabama to obtain federal grants for ADAnet.
These grants will allow ADAnet to become even more effective
in enabling the disabled. It will allow information to be shared
and increase the public knowledge of disability. Mr. Freeman has
worked closely with the National Institute on Disability
Rehabilitation and Research and the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission in developing this complete program of disability
information.

        Serving the needs of disabled people in the United States 
and Hawaii, Canada and the Pacific, ADAnet is expanding to serve
the needs of disabled people worldwide. In this way, a resource is
being built that will help bring independence to your disabled
constituents at home and in the workplace.

        I believe that ADAnet is providing a valuable service to
your disabled constituents, and with their interests in mind, I am
confident that I can count on your support and letter of
recommendation regarding this much needed service.

                                                        Sincerely,


                                                        <Your Name>
