[Electronics-talk] My brailled ATM cards are here

[David Andrews]

You and at least one other person has taken us to task for our 
supposed shortcoming.  Maybe this is a need we aren't meeting, time will tell.

It is easy to stand on the sidelines and throw stones at others, 
denegrating them for what they aren't doing.  You think we should do 
something, but you are not a member to my knowledge, and are not 
working towards making it happen.
  The NFB is a membership-based organization.  Our policies are set 
by vote of the members.  People write resolutions, lobby for them, 
and if they pass they are the basis for our policies and actions.  If 
this is a need, somebody should write a resolution and get it passed.
