[Electronics-talk] My brailled ATM cards are here

[Mike Freeman]

Besides, I dare say that a fair number of people within NFB don't consider
the security code thing to be a problem. I say again: Readers do not equal
dependence.

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.
