[blindlaw] The Census does not track the blind

We need the US Census to track the blind and the visually impaired. Right
now we are tracked as the disabled which includes everyone who has any kind
of disability.  The government cannot track discrimination because they do
not have the figures.  Everyone has to estimate how many people are disabled
because if they actually knew the numbers then it would be a lot easier to
prove discrimination and nobody wants to make it easier!

They do track Sensory impaired but that includes the deaf, and people with
other sensory problems and of course each population has its own problems.

So who can organize this and cause the Census to track the blind and
visually impaired?

Sincerely,

James G. Pepper
