I'm not sanguine about NFB as we allknow. And I'm not an apologist for them
either.
At the risk of sounding paranoid I think they are all out to get us/me.
I'm sick of all these pricks, as a short cut to the story.
That said the NFB is the least of our issues and only a symtom of a disease.
The bigger issues are those we all know.
BTW just got off the phone with the Michigan ACLU....
They know what is going on here in Michigan.
But, our issues are in the hopper, lost in the maelsttrom.
NFB here has been absent because it is taken over by "thumb suckers" and for
that matter so is ACB here, long time ago btw.
I'm taking on all of the beasts Miriam!!
This mission is becoming trully existential.
I'm not paranoid for there is a plot!
And they are fucking with me personally and have been fuckingwith me for
some time along with others of course as highlighted by the flint water
crisis!
The whole thing is a corrupted mess!!!
Sorry I'm sick and fucked with beyond measure and still I'm trying to fight
the fight!

In my fourth attempt to sign the thing, and by then it was just a personal
challenge to me, I managed to do it following a set of directions about the
extra key strokes to use when you get to the sign button. But even then, I
had to do it over 3 times before it worked. I wonder what the NFB
leadership was thinking when they set this thing up.

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?
