[Blindtlk] I just signed a petition asking US Airways to apologize for kicking a blind man off its flight

I would recommend holding off on taking any action until NAGDU has investigated. There's more to this story than people might think.

Subject: [Blindtlk] I just signed a petition asking US Airways to apologize for kicking a blind man off its flight

Hi, 
Last week, passengers on a US Airways flight rallied around a blind man and his service dog, who were kicked off the plane, and got the same treatment for their trouble. 

After a long delay on a US Airways flight, Albert Rizzi’s yellow lab, Doxy, became restless being cramped under the seat in front of him. According to Rizzi and fellow passengers, a flight attendant insisted Doxy had to stay there or the plane would turn around. When Rizzi objected to the treatment of himself and Doxy, they were both kicked off the plane. But in an inspiring show of unity, his fellow passengers demanded Rizzi and Doxy be let back on. 

Will you join me in signing the petition urging US Airways to treat all passengers with disabilities with respect?
