A few people have asked how to listen to the convention on Alexa devices
after finding earlier instructions not to work for them.  If you try 

"Alexa, enable nation's blind"

You should get a welcome message and the convention should start playing.
Using other versions of this phrase will bring you to NewsLine.  You also
need to use the word "Enable" although "Open" might work if you have used
"enable" previously.  At least for me, using the word "Play" never works.
It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, if you have changed the
"wakeup" word to something other than Alexa, use that word.  Also, if you
push a button to activate your microphone instead of using a "wakeup" word,
then you won't need to say "Alexa".

Best regards,
