[nabs-l] Need for political listserve?

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

I'm not sure why many feel we require a listserve specific to discussing
blind bills and issues. We already do that on the various lists that
exist. Important information such as legislation is always disseminated
among all the list, and members are free to comment on it. We certainly
have discussed topics relating to blindness and politics on this list in
the past. I fail to see why we require a separate list for politics when
what you propose is already being done. And instead of another list
where subjects are talked to death, perhaps we should get out into our
communities and actually do something about it.

Sincerely,

We need a list, where we can discuss political issues, and how they
relate to us as blind individuals.
There isn't a listserve, for that.
There are some for mainstream political discussions, but there isn't
one, that discusses the issues, and how they relate to us.
I'm talking about different bills, and laws that are signed, that
don't represent our interests.
We need a list to discuss that.
Blessings, Joshua
