[nabs-l] My official rant thread!

[Ashley Bramlett]

you may believe it but without a group backing you, you won't get far.
Use an advocacy group for people with disabilities if you want to pursue it; 
a group such as an independent living center nearby, a chapter of nfb if its 
active, a chapter of ACLU, a legal firm doing cases of this for pro bono 
work such as the equal Rights center, or a chapter of the American 
association of people with disabilities.

I'm the only blind person in my community that knows how to read Braille.
The others are older and either don't want to learn, or are in the nursing 
home, or a combination of both.
I still believe that since I'm in this community, and the ADA demands it, 
they should comply with the ADA!
Blessings, Joshua

Joshua and Sarah, you must consider that this is a world of the cited, and 
that not everything is blind Friendly.  I do agree with you, however, if 
less people demanded, there will be no action. You need to be proactive and 
get a group of people together that want the same thing, then you might get 
more accomplished than if you just went on your own.
