I was also given the chance to work while wearing vision-impairing goggles on the facility\u2019s paper assembly line and paper tube shipping line. While I was supervised throughout the day, it was a very challenging experience.\nI was delighted to meet many of the clients and employees living with visual impairments and blindness. Because of my experience, I\u2019ve found a new appreciation for the technologies and opportunities that organizations like the Lighthouse provide for blind Americans in the Metroplex.\n\t\t\n\t\tOctober: CD33 in Photos\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\nOctober 8, 2014- Fort Worth, TX-- Congressman Marc Veasey joined former president Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, to help Habitat for Humanity of Fort Worth build and repair new homes in Fort Worth.\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\nOctober 15, 2014 \u2013 Fort Worth, TX-- Congressman Marc Veasey hosted an Education Taskforce Meeting at Dan Powell Intermediate in Fort Worth to discuss STEMGenetics in EISD.\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\nOctober 30, 2014- Fort Worth, TX\u2014 Congressman Veasey rolls up his sleeves to assist with an oil change during a visit to Mac Churchill Acura in Fort Worth.\nCheck out more photos from my time around the 33rd Congressional District in our Flickr Photo Gallery!", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://veasey.house.gov//media-center/veasey-updates/nov-6-2014-bringing-jobs-to-cd33-serving-our-nation-s-veterans-in"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5328750014305115, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
