Bridgit, my chapter hasn’t exactly invested in this as a 
priority
thus far either, and there are other problems that are coming up 
as
well which I don’t think will be helped by me discussing them 
here.

My point is that I am going to do something about this, one way 
or
another, and I am working with the state affiliate and anyone I 
can
to get this accomplished.  My state president, Art Stevenson has 
been
on the phone almost constantly regarding this issue (and anybody 
who
knows Art has no hard time imagining that I’m sure!) and 
we’re gonna
get it done.

Do not give up hope, and do not feel that just because nobody 
else is
stepping forward that nothing can be done.  You can step forward.
Now sometimes when you step forward, its your head that gets 
bitten
off first—but nobody ever said doing the right thing was easy.  
Do it
anyway, and grow a thick skin.  People will respect you for it in 
the
end.

I had my own head bitten off a couple of weeks ago on nfb-talk, 
but
taking action was the right thing to do then.  I had to go it 
alone,
and though I’m doing the right thing, I’m gonna lose.  This 
time, I
am not alone, it’s still the right thing to do, and I am not 
going to
accept failure.  This one we’re gonna win, because it’s a 
"we" that
is gonna win it.

Must be
nice to have an affiliate/chapter that truly invest in the 
priorities of
the Federation and works as a collective and not as individuals 
or elite
clicks.
