[blParent] {Disarmed} Speaker Pelosi to Participate in National Federation of the Blind Convention

Thu Jul 9 14:31:16 UTC 2020

Good Morning everyone,
This is great that Nancy Pelosi is participating in the convention.
However,  she has not signed on to any of the bills that were introduced
last year to help blind people: such as HR 2086, etc.  Also, is the Democrat
phone banking database totally accessible to JAWS.  I know the Republican
telephone database is 95 per cent accessible.  I should know as I worked
with them to do so.  I was a royal pain in the neck, but I got it done.  The
reason, why I worked with the less popular party is to shame everyone else
into doing the same.

Regards,

Marianne
