[Blindtlk] Resolution that didn't pass about apple

[chris nusbaum]

Ray, if you want or need some help writing your letter, please contact
me, as I would be willing to help you do it. And Joseph, if the
Federation sucks up to Google despite its inaccessibility, why are we
suing them?

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real
problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that exists. If
a blind person has the proper training and opportunity, blindness can
be reduced to a mere physical nuissence." -- Kenneth Jernigan
