[Blindtlk] FW: [censored]

[Mike Freeman]

The point is precisely that the bills you mention are *our* bills so we know what the content of them is and that they implement NFB policies. Moreover, NFB pays for this list so discussion of NFB-authored bills is appropriate. Discussion of bills having nothing to do with blindness isn't appropriate!

See the recent email with the agenda for Washington Seminar; 2 of the bills didn't have numbers because they haven't been formally introduced in Congress, the Americans with Disabilities Business Opportunity Act (ADBOA) and the Home Appliance Accessibility Act (HAAA.)

If it hasn't been introduced, this is merely one of those spams that goes around every so often.  At the risk of seeming strident, either post the House or Senate bill number, or stop posting about it.
