what I suspect happened is that they didn't fully research the platforms
available. I even suggested their using some of the platforms that
organizations have to pay for so that they could routinely reach their
members and even channel alerts to address issues in specific states. While
they have been somewhat interested in this here in California there hasn't
been much interest that I know of nationally. But the NFB of California
seems to be different than national.

Subject: [blind-democracy] more on NFB petition
One of the more cynical list members wrote.
So far, only about 1500 people have signed this petition, and more than
98,000 more signatures are required by Feb . 11. This is more than the
combined membership of all the blindness advocacy groups in this country so
it is unlikely that the 100,000 signature threshhold will be met by the
deadline, especially since this petition is not very accessible to begin
with.
They could have used Change or Move On or the other sites that lalow you to
do your own petition and that are easy for people to use. But perhaps those
websites are too liberal for NFB?
