How does one go about doing so in California? Northern California and possibly Southern California?
----------------"If you go without playing the trumpet for one day, no one knows, two days, only you know, and more than three days without practicing, girl you better look out, because everyone will know!" Today, I find myself constantly saying those words, just to get myself going, to not give up, and it works. Since I learned to play the trumpet at the tender age of 10, I have spent so much passion and much diligence with that instrument that I will not give up on it. Sometimes my instrument puts me into awkward situations where I feel like they won't ever end, but the trumpet gives me a lot of hope with the majestic, crystal-clear sound it brings to my ears.

Oh, the classic comments, from the publishers, and the Chamber of Commerce, sigh.I so hope it does pass, and will be contacting my groups and representatives.Shelley L. Rhodes, VRT Guide dogs for the Blind Alumni Association www.guidedogs.comReading a book is like rewriting it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms. -Angela Carter, novelist and journalist (1940-1992)----- Original Message ----- From: "Monica Willyard" <rhyami@xxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 5:44 PMSubject: [bksvol-discuss] Copyright Owners Fight Plan to Release E-Books for the BlindThis is it, gang. This is the conference that holds Bookshare's hopes for afully international service in its hands. You can read about the details here: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/12/blind_block/It's time to pray, push politicians, speak out publicly, blog, tweet, sharewith your neighbors, and/or contact your local chapter of the consumerorganizations to which you belong. If the publishers, MPAA, and Chamber of Commerce skew the vote against this policy, millions of disabled people willcontinue to stay in the dark, with no access to books. Yes, Bookshare will still exist, and yes, Americans are still going to beable to access books. People from other countries aren't so lucky. They haveto scrounge for what they can find, often living in poverty for lack of education and access to basic medical and legal information. We were just like them 60 years ago, only able to read when people wouldread to us. Even with the NLS, I had to beg for books and struggle with lackof information as a student 20 years ago. If we don't speak out and dosomething, even if it's a little something, to help our disabled neighbors,we leave them in the dark while we enjoy the light.The quotes from publishers in this article have stung me, actually stunned me, by their complete arrogance and lack of awareness. They might as well besaying, "Let them eat cake!"
