[DSM-Iowa] OCTOBER!

[James Omvig]

Mary:

Glad you read October!  Did you listen, or read some other way?

I'd like to lead at least a part of the philosophy discussion, 
but the wheels don't turn quite like they used to when you were 
one of my students!  I am now 85 years old!

I was trying to remember, what year was it when you were one of 
my students?

For all Chapter members, if some of you would like to "hear" 
October, I've asked our National Office to send some Thumb Drives 
to our President.  He'll have them in a couple of days.

Jim Omvig

Hello, Again!  This seems to be the first day of accumulated 
snow!  Happy
New Year a little early!  Remember, we're going to have a bang-up 
party to
celebrate the death of COVID!

I read the entire October Braille Monitor this afternoon and was 
I ever
impressed!  When can we start discussing it?  Would the great 
James Omvig
like to lead the group?  There are several wonderful articles in
there-everything from the ABA's not really respecting the 
practice of
disability law, to the fundamental right to vote.  Then, there's 
the
tenBroek article, which is really deep!

I was out a little while this morning and passed the election 
office.  I
noted it's true that people are coming and going in and out of 
there, so we
are indeed seeing record voter turn-out.

Will the ordinary members of the NFB ever be able to read the 
official
Complaint to the DOJ?  And where to we go from here with the 
state of Iowa?
I had another phone conversation with the State Senator I told 
you about at
the meeting.  I believe we have an ally here.

I can call into a group discussion most days till November 3rd, 
then it'll
have to be in the evenings.

Let me know what you all think, please.

Sincerely,

Mary L.  McGee
