We believe some of you may wish to participate in this effort. You may have already heard that the National Library Service For The Blind And Physically Handicapped summarily shut down the popular web Braille service. The latest advocacy campaign to restore service and bring attention to this issue is an electronic internet campaign located at: http://www.RestoreWebBraille.com The bipartisan campaign, created by Earlene Hughes will be sent to NLS administrators as well as those in the United States Congress involved in the provision and oversight of NLS services to the general public. You are urged to consider signing the petition in addition to any other advocacy efforts that you have participated in. You can also read a summary of the Web Braille issue, presented by Chris Gray, President, American Council Of The Blind at: http://www.dcnightout.com Mika Pyyhkala has obtained the http://www.RestoreWebBraille.com internet domain for use in this advocacy project.
