When well over five hundred Federationists make appointments in congressional offices during a three-day period, no one should be surprised that a number of senators and representatives make time to see their blind constituents in person. That is what happened January 30 through February 1 as the NFB conducted its 2007 Washington Seminar. Here are photos of a few of these meetings:

 

NFB of South Carolina President Parnell Diggs, Congressman Bob Inglis, Lenora Robertson, Ellen Taylor, Debra Canty, and Diana Singleton chat in the hall outside Congressman Inglis’s office.

Congressman Ralph Regula of Ohio enjoys a spectacular view of the Capitol from his office window in the Rayburn Building. Here Jason Ewell and Luke Cassi (left) and Jennifer Kennedy (right) talk with him about appropriations of interest to the blind.
