[nabs-l] Governor Sacrifices the Blind for Short Term Politics

[T. Joseph Carter]

The rally may not be as big as we hoped.  The Commission tried to 
cancel it.  (This raises several very important questions about why 
and how they were involved in the first place, but those can wait 
until after we have settled the matter.)

You'd better believe I'll be there.  I'll probably be one of the 
speakers, wearing my student president hat.  (Okay, I don't actually 
wear hats..)

Joseph
