They are not my open letters, but those publicly being circulated, Even included on the NFB national home page. It should have been the affiliate presidents responsibility to inform her members in a timely manner. I feel that This is another attempt to discredit and embarrass me,. The way in which she open this message seems to intentionally give members the impression that I have made accusations or have something to do with this groundswell of concern. Recognizing that the affiliate had not openly addressed this critical issue, I felt the obligation as a leader to do so. A leader need not have a title.<div><div><div><div><br><div> <div><div><div><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Respectfully,</div><div>P.A.
