TEXT: Dear Congress Woman Byron:

The purpose of this letter is to ask your help with a problem I am having with the State of Maryland dealing with a federal regulation.

This has to do with tinted windows I have on my car (side windows only), since 1985 due to an exemption that I was granted by the State of Maryland for medical reasons. I have Diabetes and eyes sensiative to sunlight.

I am now being told by the State of Maryland that the Federal Government will not allow them to grant any more medical exemptions and that there is no recourse for appeal in this matter. I find this very difficult to understand when we are all talking a bout the plight of the handicapped. In my own way, this is causing me to have a problem by having severe headaches on a daily basis caused by bright sunlight. I consider this very much of a handicap over other people who do not suffer from this problem or with the disease of Diabetes.

Your help in getting medical exemptions restored to Maryland for myself and others with the same problems is greatly needed and will be appreciated. I feel to date that I have been talking to to uncaring ears regarding this matter.

Even though I am not a crusader, if I must I will start a campaine of letter writing and petitions because I feel this is being handled so unjustly.

Again, thank you for your immediate help in this matter because I have already had my automobile tags on one car suspended while pursuing this matter.
