[nabs-l] what is Federationism

[Amy Sabo]

hello chris and all,

this is a interesting topic and one that we all need to know why we joined the federation and what it means to be a federationist. it's meant to me that we can do anything like sighted can do with usingg alternative techniques and that we can live on equal terms with the sighted public.

it's just a physical nuisance. it's also a part of me and who i'am. i didn't think this before until i found the ferdeation until 1995 but, in living in this world and living with the philosophy as who i'am and, who is what fedeerationis,mmeans to me.

thanks for sharing and, i will talk to you all soon.


hugs,
from amy

Hi, all.

Here's an interesting, maybe somewhat philosophical question for 
all of you.  Sorry for those of you who don't like these topics, 
you don't have to reply.  I've always been an NFB member (since I 
was very little) but I was never really active in it.  Oh sure, I 
followed some of the issues and had some oppinions, but I never 
really was that active in the NFB itself.  Now, after I went to 
the NFB's Leadership and Advocacy program, I seem to have a new 
sense of support for the Federation and as I'm learning more, I 
want to be more active in it.  I really am starting to understand 
and strongly believe in the NFB philosophy, or at least how I 
interpret it.  So I want to ask you a threefold question: what 
does Federationism mean to you, what do you think the NFB 
philosophy is, and why are you a Federationist? I'm not going to 
tell you my opinion just yet, mainly because I don't really have 
a strong one.  That's why I want to hear from you, think about 
your opinions, and finally decide what I believe.  I look forward 
to hearing all of your thoughts!
