[nabs-l] nabs-l petition

[T. Joseph Carter]

Hey Alex,

I love the content of this petition, but when I read it back, it does 
not seem to be targeted in such a way that it is likely to obtain and 
retain politicians' attention, given that the staffers who read it 
likely know very little about about the blind.

There are a lot of people here on this list, and elsewhere in the 
NFB, who have a lot of skill at crafting an effective message to 
sighted politicians.  Would you be willing to withdraw the petition 
for the time being and post its text here for review, discussion, and 
perhaps some revision?

I hope that in doing so, we might all learn something about how it's 
done effectively from the Federation's experts on the subject, and at 
the same time deliver a message to Washington they cannot ignore.

What do you think?

Joseph

How many children in America are not taught how to read?
If they are blind, the answer is 90%--more than 52,000 children!
