Diabetes is the number 1 cause of blindness in the USA.  It ranks up  there 
throughout the world.  What can we do to stop or have them at least  consider 
another  way of continuing the Voice of the Diabetic  publication.
 
NFB is always asking us to contact our Senators and House of  Representative  
members, how about calling or emailing our President of NFB  to "Voice" our 
opinion and thoughts on this?
 
The blind depend on word of mouth to learn about things, that is why we are  
encouraged to talk about NFB to everyone blind and sighted.
 
I understand that the cost of the publication has sky rocketed, but do we  
need color photos and the new look of the Voice?  I am sure those are some  of 
the reasons that caused the price  to soar.  
 
I am disappointed with this decision.  I do know that there has been  
concerns in the past years about the  money going  out for this  publication and the 
NFB covering the  cost.          the circulation of  this publication is over 
three hundred thousand .
 
 Mike, do you know if there will be a notice put into the Voice and  will 
there be a final Voice sent out or is it just over like that ?
