Subject: Update about 'Make appliances accessible for the blind.' on Change.org

 

Hello, 
Thanks again for signing my petition to encourage appliance manufacturers to make their appliances accessible to the blind and visually impaired. I am so excited and encouraged to see there are 3,673 signatures, so far, representing at least 31 countries! But, this is a small number considering there are millions of blind and visually impaired people around the world that need to have their appliances made accessible to them. 
This might be our one big shot to make this happen, so I would like to encourage you to reach out to your friends and people you know, and explain to them how important this is for millions of us just wanting/needing to live independent lives like everyone else, and ask them to go to http://tinyurl.com/AccessibleHomeAppliances and sign the petition and also email it to their friends, and share it on Facebook and twitter. If this works right they can also sign the petition by clicking here. 
I may have got the petition started, but now it's up to all of us to make a difference for us all! 
Thank you again for your support, and lets make this happen! 
Gene Fleeman 
member, National Federation of the Blind
